Re: Casio SK-8

Casio SK-8 an uncommon little console from 1987 (decorated case date stamp) is one of the successors of the popular Casio SK-1 lo-fi sampler. It can put away to 4 tests (playable through drumpads or console) and keeps them in battery moved down memory after force off.

In inverse to the SK-1 it incorporates a "song guide" key lighting highlight for music educating (not the keys itself illuminate but rather a column of little LEDs above them) and a ROM-Pack music cartridge space. Shockingly this instrument is feeling the loss of the pleasant drawbar synthesizer and portamento of the SK-1, and the tekkno blip drums were supplanted by customary percussion tests without backup. Likewise the sequencer is path less complex than on SK-1. This instrument was additionally discharged as Realistic Concertmate-800.

By a console network easteregg the SK-8 can be effectively changed into an oriental console.
