Casio Sampling Keyboard Index










Now this is a really weird keyboard! It's like the SK-8, except perhaps aimed at the middle eastern market?
Has the lights and rom areas like the SK8. Has some different middle eastern sounds and rythyms.



Most interestingly, it has a 4th slider on the left for "Scale". You can play the normal 12 tone scales, but there are two alternate tunings that can be selected. Click the slider to a tuning, then press a key and chooose "arabic". Very, very weird and cool!
