Casio SK-60

German Version

The SK-60 is the absolute weirdo among Casio keyboards, unique and rare. It can save up to 4 samples (3.2 sec sampling time in total) which can be played in usual ways, or in predefined patterns (for example 1-2-3-4 or 1-2-3, etc.) by the press of a button

Additionally, it has some unusual sampling effects on board, like up/ down pitch and modulations. The preset sounds are also very sample-based and consist of intruments, chorus, "DO-BI-DOO" and FX samples

The device is basically made up of a single chip architecture, which is difficult to modify without previous knowledge or circuit diagram. As it doesn't possess a line out ex factory, I built a line-out jack in.
