I had an Casio SK-1 once, or I had 2 of them. But I sold them and now I gone by one or two again. Casio SK-1 is a very fun and nice keyboard, even if the sampling isn´t so good, but good enough to make music with, my oppinion. I used may SK-1 when I made my first music around 1987, it was fun to hear the sampled sounds together with the monophonic synth Jen SX-2300, and SK-1´s rythm. Seeya

I got my little tiny SK-1 when I was 8 or 9, and I am still using it frequently today. It may be tiny, but it has a lot of really neat features in it, and its price was certainly reasonable. I think that Casio discontinued the SK line, so that makes my little baby keyboard even nearer and dearer to my heart. *sigh*

Yo, the SK1 is the most fun for its size and price (got mine for 10 bucks) it provides hours of fun for all and the sound is greatly enhanced with liberal doses of alcohol etc... Check out that guy on the net who circut bent his... mine is now bent as well and it is now the living acid machine. SK-1 Rules!!

You got it wrong in two places: maximum polyphony is 4, not 1, and the keyboard
doesn't respond to velocity. If you're not satisfied with the sounds (who is?), then
have a look at "Circuit Bending and Living Instruments" on windworld.com/emi/ghazala.htm -
this guy explains how to rearrange the circuit so as to get more interesting albeit weird
sounds.

This keyboard is awesome. I've had mine since I was like 11, so it definately has the hard core nostalgia factor. I've used it for texture samples like static, distortion, etc. and for live drum samples. It has the best flute sound--well it doesn't exactly sound like a flute, but I've used it on like a million songs and I still love it. Anyway, the SK-1 is also just fun to freak out on.
