Well done video. I also had a SK1 in my early teens and actually never fully utilized its ‘ synth’ controls most likely because manual reading was not on the forefront of a 13 yr old 80s kid. I used to ‘sample’ everything around the house and figured out to make music with it. Flash forward…. I actually gave it to my nephew a few years ago in perfect working condition. Hmmm…. am I wrong to want it back? 😮

There are some new tapes still being made, yep. The Fox C60 that I tested in the video is one of them. But the TDK and other tapes I tested are not made anymore today unfortunately

The addative Synthesizing (blue button with the 16' 8' 5(5/3)' etc. keys) works like the pull bars on a Hammond organ So its quite good watching some videos about Hammonds to understand more about it and get suggestions for nice sounds you can set up. (This is more aimed at viewers rather than our host who knows the SK1 like a brother 🤗) My favourite voice on it is the Flute with envelope select on Ab (middle of the keyboard Ab) nice big soft chords hug
@TheOrphicCreative 11 күн бұрын
Yes, very true. When I first got the SK1 as a kid, I had no idea what was going on with that blue button. But when I was a bit older I finally read the manual, and it completely blew my mind that there were all these new sounds I could access by programming in some additive sequences and an envelope.

Does your cassette deck not have a skip track feature? It only works if detecting silence between tracks, but while the tape is playing in either direction, I press fast forward and it'll stop fast forwarding upon reaching the next song.
@TheOrphicCreative 26 күн бұрын
Yes good point, my deck does have that. I was thinking more in terms of portable Walkman type players, but actually many of the later ones had that feature too 👍

@TheOrphicCreative Ай бұрын
They are pretty bulletproof, so there's probably a relatively simple solution. Check for loose solder joints, particularly on the power circuits. Could also be oxidisation on the power switch, you can try spraying some contact cleaner into it. Hope you get it working!

Aparently if you picked the built in microphone amd then put it on loop, should the sample be ahiet enough you could get this really cool tone because it looped the sample so freaking fast! I don't know how to describe it, but I descovered it as a kid when I tried to make a recording and it was way too short, causing me to experiment. The tone created is so cool!

Definitely a lot easier than Kontakt, although you don't have quite the same level of tunability and control though. But it's perfectly fine for the vast majority of synths I make

Really impressive. Good editing, camerawork, sound (of course!) and enviable skills to revive the broken 4-track machine. I'm about to embark on a similar project with the cheap and nasty Vestax 4-track I got in 1991 or '92. Why only 686 subscribers (counting me)? You deserve a few zeros on the end of that.

Hmm, not too sure I'm afraid. I think they do have an internal fuse though, so that might be something to check. Otherwise the best thing is just to open it up and look over all the circuit boards and see if you can spot anything

My sister got a SK-1 for Christmas while I got a rather basic PT-100. I used to cheat and "combine" the two keyboards by sampling the fabulous vibraphone on the PT-100 using the SK-1's sampler. The PT-100's built in sounds were pretty good, but it really needed all the goodies the SK-1 had like portamento.

This is weird. I’m using Logic Pro X with an early 2011 MBP with ZERO issues. I’ve upgrade to 8 gigs and 256 SSD. I can load tons and tons of tracks using Logics selections and have never had a single issue at all. Not a glitch or slow down, and certainly never that pop up you’re getting. Strange, I don’t understand why you’re having the issues. Also I’m still running Sierra.

I have a Yamaha PSS-470 but I also want the model up with PCM drums. So I think it would make sense to get a Yamaha PSS-560 as I could also have 2 keyboards with different button colours, the PSS-470 has coloured buttons and the PSS-560 has mostly grey buttons with a coloured highlight buttons.

Everyone talks about the importance of sources such as CD players and how much they can affect the sound but no one wants to talk about cassette players and how could they affect sound too. They play a cassette on an early 2000's CD player and think that all of them must sound the same. No one wants to give cassettes a chance, it's kinda bizarre on why.
@TheOrphicCreative 9 ай бұрын
Absolutely agree. I think maybe it's because people just expect tapes to sound a bit crap, so they don't consider that playing and recording them on a high quality deck would make a difference.

No, unfortunately they will be wiped when you turn the power off, like the SK1. The only way to save them would be to record them to some kind of tape machine or digital recorder, then resample back onto the keyboard from there.
