3:06 he plays the reminder by the weeknd for a second.

Wind the strings the other way around so the strings are in line with the bridge

its annoying how each one says a sentence, i hope you breakup

The song at 2:24m sounds like an LCD Soundsystem song

I think I still have mine somewhere...

The coolest kid in my 4th grade class had one of these. Good times.

very generous of you and Fred...thank you so much.

Man, I had one of these as a kid. I remember making what i THOUGHT was a passable dubstep bass by muting the speaker on the left with a cupped hand

why is the backround music so good at 1:35. (if you know what it is, tell me)

My first guitar was an Ibanez Gio. After figuring out my favorite riffs and learning to play more, I started saving up and buying more expensive guitars. Strat, les paul, LTD etc etc. I play a little every day and longer on my time off but the one I always still go to is that cheap ass Ibanez Gio. It holds the tuning, is pretty gentel on the strings and is easy to hook in with whatever effects or amp im trying or using. The others are great, but require more tuning on a regular basis, are a little picky with some pedals and effects and take about 10 mins of fooling with the knobs to be where I want them at. Biggest lesson I learned was its all in the way it plays for you and if its comfortable, thats the one.

This video is so cool and very imformative

the sound it made after turning up the mix knob reminded me of cupid de locke by the smashing pumps

2:56 'Welcome Kmart shoppers'

Those light sensors could be accused of being a 'gimmick' but I am blown away by their inclusion. It gives the machine a theremin like ability that during live performance could be game changer. Those switch out cartridges look like a bit of draw back though. They should have been hard wired under the hood with a dial/switch that swapped between them on the front panel. There is too much chance of loosing the entire pouch in transit or damaging the individual cartridges.

This is cool. This video can be a lesson for today's generation, that recording audio in the past was not as easy as it is now. They not only need skills, but also creativity, art and feelings. That's why the music of the past is so beautiful, because musicians in the past were educated by such situations, digitalization did not yet exist. Btw the downside to audio equipment of the past was that they used "rubber bands", which would disintegrate over time. The rubber band is used as a rotating interface between the dynamo and other levers. How do you get it, and get it to the right size? I have a Walkman but the rubber band is destroyed, it's very difficult to find one in the same size.

Disasterpeace would love this :-P

Enjoyed... and wishlisted :)

The origins of garage rock turns out to be something we should actually call thrift rock. 🤘 (Also after the opening chord progressions now I can't get Danzig's "Mother" out of my head.)

to be honest the song you made near the end reminds me of the Minecraft music disc songs

And my childhood is back again ❤

Turned into Vangelis at 5 mins

I played that game on the mac+. What was the name of it again? So retro!

Official synth of Strongbad

Wow! You really managed to make the most of this little gadget. What a memory! I remember a kid in my class called Kiff bringing one of these into music lesson and the teacher was so excited, he tried playing Rhapsody in blue on it and it wasn’t too bad. Hearing these sounds is like jumping into a time machine. Casio definitely know how to make some quality gear.👍

I had a little improved one when I was 8 or 9. But I smashed it on the wall when I got upset my mom. I was not a normal kid I was furious and a bully.

Got one of these when it came out - still got it! It was by far the cheapest synthesizer on the market at the time i.e. one i could afford. Never managed to produce anything musical with it!

I had this!!! Messed around with it so much back when I was a young kid.

It seems oddly fitting that a demo for what would likely be a very introductory synth includes the Stranger Things melody line. That seems to be the new 'Jump' or 'Axel F' style riff for people getting into synths

I had one of those. What a nostalgic blast.

ВЫ ОГРОМНЫЙ МОЛОДЕЦ ! НО ВЫ ПОКАЗЫВАЕТЕ - ДЕТСКУЮ ИГРУШКУ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ЭТО НИКУДА НЕ ГОДИТСЯ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is so cool, and I love what you’re doing with these vid/library projects

Alright time to wait for this firmware to land on the mini

Gear snobbery was engineered by advertisers.

Thanks This is a great moment for throwback future synthesis Amazing machine You can plug other electric instruments into it Great features

Great video, thanks

Finally they did it! Time to sell sp404mk2 and Seqtrak.

4:07 sounds like something MBR would make

the record preamp could probably recreate the tone to sometimes by my bloody valentine somewhat

Aw, I was really hoping you'd record the guitar to tape and play it back. Does your tape deck take a single guitar signal and split it to the L/R channels of the tape? If so, try full input gain and use the volume knob of the guitar to compare "clean" to distorted. I'm curious to hear how the tape recording responds.

I love you!!!

Had one as a kid. Never even knew about changing the settings through the calculator. Great video!

Tascam still makes Master Studio cassettes for these machines ❤❤❤❤ they are $12 on Amazon and $35 for the limited edition reel to reel version on sites like Reverb.. note that the two versions are identical in specs. The only difference being the cool reels on the limited one... I have the MF-P01 4 tracker with these tapes, and I love it❤❤❤❤

How much do the other boxes cost?

and now the downside: $459.00

Still got mine and it has always worked perfectly - 43 years on. Can't say that about anything else electronic I own, I don't think. Much gratitude for the sample libraries though.

I used to own one, my dad bought it for me from Japan (he was in the merchant fleet). Sadly I threw it away many, many years ago, something I still regret.

Just got mine like "Oh, no PERC yet". Kinda why I bought it and I knew it was in the works but its pretty loose on the timeline and details and after seeing it a few times, kinda assumed it would be a day 1 firmware update. Either way, initial reaction is good, but dam, really wanting "PERC".

I still have mine since new. One of the best things I ever bought.

The MONO tube, and later solid state Wollensaks are workhorses for experimental loops and production. They were standard in school AV departments in the 1950's- 1970's. Also the entire chassis from the earliest tube models ( white and grey, like yours, which is tube Stereo) to the latest avocado green solid state 'transistor' models, you can swap the chassis as they had identical connectors on them. I used to goof around and make my late green models with tubes and the early white and grey models with the solid state chassis. MAKE YOU SOME TAPE LOOPS! No reels necessary, just the tape, plus you can make them as long as you want.

Jools Holland did a boogy woogy jam with one of these on live TV. Talent.
