Doo be doo be doo! The Casio SK-60 is a bizarre synth. It’s nothing like the SK-1 or SK-5 but it still has some interesting tricks up its sleeves. If I recall, this is the last synth they made in the SK series. Here’s a quick demo of two of the vocal patches. . . . #musicdiscoverylab #lofi #casiosk60 #synth #toysynth #80s #casio #effects #pedalboard #experiment https://www.instagram.com/p/CExTf4lBWvi/?igshid=1kieu7q876et1

And here’s another. I looped a rhythm from the PT-1 then dropped the tempo by half which dropped the pitch by an octave. Then I just twiddled on the black keys to get a semblance of a melody. Next up: the Casio SK-60. . . . #musicdiscoverylab #lofi #casiopt1 #synth #toysynth #80s #casio #effects #pedalboard #experiment https://www.instagram.com/p/CExRi1whJ34/?igshid=1woaggagvqe2x

Playing with that Suiko synth made me want to bust out done of my other toy synths from the 80’s. Here’s the Casio PT-1 through the effects rig. I used the “one key play” function to recall a melody I recorded earlier. Super cool feature for such a cheap little keyboard:). . . . #musicdiscoverylab #lofi #casiopt1 #synth #toysynth #80s #casio #effects #pedalboard #experiment https://www.instagram.com/p/CExQ3VUBhDm/?igshid=3ch6h3btlh9i

I dig this one a lot. This time I set up a patch and then I sampled a portion of it to play back with the record + remix. And this is the first time I truly understood how the VCAs work. I used them to subtly add other voices to the mix from the Braids. Oh and I used Marbles to also modulate when the delay turned on and off. I’m learning😂😂😂! . . . #musicdiscoverylab #lofi #toysynth #voicerecorder #techwillsaveus #delay #plaits #braids #effects #modularsynth #sampler #loop #electronicmusic #modularsynth #looper #generativemusic https://www.instagram.com/p/CEr5vyqB8DM/?igshid=1di6wbk6gnipu

Here’s another experiment with my modular and the record + remix by @techwillsaveus. This time I sampled the music box tines off of one of my #Springzingers. It could’ve used a touch of reverb and delay but I didn’t have any available at the time. . . . . #musicdiscoverylab #lofi #toysynth #voicerecorder #techwillsaveus #delay #plaits #braids #effects #modularsynth #musicbox #loop #electronicmusic #modularsynth #looper #generativemusic https://www.instagram.com/p/CEr1M-Zh6zr/?igshid=12w8hhm12xsao

Here’s a quick video of me playing the remix toy through my modular rig. I sampled my homemade kalimba and added some delay. . . . #musicdiscoverylab #lofi #toysynth #voicerecorder #techwillsaveus #delay #plaits #braids #effects #modularsynth #kalimba https://www.instagram.com/p/CEo6HEdH9Gd/?igshid=50s4o3x9g5es

I got a new toy from @techwillsaveus! It’s a voice recorder that plays at different speeds. I’m about to post a video in a moment so you can hear it in action:). . . . #musicdiscoverylab #lofi #toysynth #voicerecorder #techwillsaveus #modularsynth #kalimba https://www.instagram.com/p/CEo6DKEHAIr/?igshid=1in7b3an94dn3
