My lovely SO @anonus bought me an early birthday gift: this vintageĀ ā80s keyboard!!
Itās a Realistic Concertmate 700, which is simply a rebranded Casio Casiotone MT-205, because it was sold at Radio Shack back when Radio Shack mattered enough to get away with slapping their own brand names on all the products they sold.
Even though it proudly advertisesĀ āPulse Code Modulationā the only actual PCM samples are for the drum sounds. Iām not 100% sure what the details of the actual melodic sounds are, but if any synth nerds out there feel like explaining it to me, Iād love to hear it!
