Hi, You know, this list has about 20+ circuit-benders with SK-5's.....hint hint. I've got the SK-8/Sk-5 service manual the other day.....all the mysteries of...
Nope, just lurking...=] (guess it's time to pop the user post cherry) ... Ah, nice. I knew the drums were seperate from the rest, but didn't know there were 4...
*correction Yeah, the 4-voices come directley out of the main brain CPU, after this point they go into (4) VCA's (Voltage Controlled Amp) for envelope shaping....
... oh i see, so when you hold one note down, only one VCA is working, then the second key activates the next VCA and so on? Some of the bends i found will ...
Yeah exactly. If your holding down four notes, it'll split those VCA/Voices up amongst them. So, it could be very interesting for "expanding" the SK's...
Thanks! Everything but the memory expansion is documented with illustrations in the "Files" section of the yahoo group. The memory expansion I'm offering as an...
All of them, Sk-1, Sk-5 & Sk-8. Although, the SK-1 will be limited to 16 banks, but at least they will be non-volatile (won't erase on power down). Of Course,...
Hi plutoniq9, Just joined the user group, this is my first post! Saw that you were getting the schematics for the SK8 in a previous post, wondering if you were...
Welcome to the group, Yeah, I got the service manual & it's a great copy of them....but have to wait until i have access to a scanner to upload them. I didn't...
Hi Plutoniq9, Looking forward to the service manual sometime. Regarding any mods yet, no, I haven't done any more so far, but I am seriously considering the ...
Hi graham, I actually haven't written up the details on the 32x memory upgrade as it's is a lot more complicated than everything else i've written up. I can...
Hi Ryan, Regarding VCA's, then how about: If it were possible to make an add- on VCA circuit that tapped the signal from the output of the onboard VCA. VCA...
Hi Graham, "if" you were gonna use your own VCA's, you'd want to tap the 4 voices coming direcley out of the main CPU, that is, pre Casio VCA's. Ok, so if...
As im new on this community let's drop a message to say hello :D I wanted to get a sk5 lately but im on a kind of dire strait and cn't buy anything even...
You all know that sk8 has been rereleased as sk8-a right? so you may know that you all, that got a sk8, can finally normally bent their sk to get some new...
Hi & welcome to the list! Actually, the SK-8a was the SK-8 released for the middle eastern market at the same time as the SK-8. It had different rhythms,...
I believe they "hid" the arabic scaling on the western models as they are, in general, scales rarely used in western music. The western 12-tone scale, however,...
So i've gotten an SK5, i know basic electronic stuff, i've successfully passed the soldering test. But i have to say, i've finding this a bit daunting. I was...
All the SK-8 mods should work identical for the SK-5, even though they have clear differences, the sound boards are the same..... I'd be very surprised if...
I've got the Sk-8 service manual as well that needs to be scanned an uploaded to this group as well. Because the "Sound board" in the Sk-5 & SK-8 are...
Hi Of some interest to the circuit-benders here, I'm currentley designing a VSTi that will allow for "real" circuit bending. The first incarnation will likely...
Just read the Audio Output mod file from Plutoniq9. Can this be done and run through the stock speaker ? Without creating other problems. Maybe a DPDT switch...
