SK-51 is an all-in-one kevboard inspired by the Casio SK-1 (and his brother the SK-5), a 8-bit lo-fi keyboard from the 80’s, with sampling features and onboard drum machine.
Called the poor man’s sampler at the time, this keyboard was a real instrument and has been used by many major artists such as Fatboy Slim, Portishead Autechre and Nine Inch Nails.
As some of us at Fingerlab compose their first sonqs with it when they were kids in the eighties, we wanted to bring back to vou this particular feeling from the past, so we created the SK-51.
Fingerlab recorded all the instruments and drums notes one by one with a professional audio quality 16bit/44KHz), we recreated the sampling features, and we transcribed all the demo drums patterns. We also added the sounds from the Casio VL-Tone, a keyboard older than the SK-1 but nevertheless famous.
With its nice and true to life interface, manv instruments (Trumpet, Flute, Piano, Vibraphone, …), 4 sampling slot and many drums patterns and sounds, the SK-51 is versatile and fun music tools Record your voice, start the drum box, play a chord and you got it!
