The Casio SK-8 keyboard was introduced by Casio in the late 1980s. It was one of the first affordable, low-end sampling keyboards along with the Casio SK-1 and Casio SK-5. Like the SK-1 and the SK-5, the SK-8 is popular for circuit bending or modding due to its complex multi-chip hardware [1]. One such mod is the ability for an SK-8 sample to be triggered via a drum pad or converted into an oriental keyboard. External samples are recorded via built-in microphone or a line-level input from another source. The SK-8 is considered an uncommon find for electronic musicians and can vary in price from $50-$100 USD [2].
The SK-8 has several advantages over the SK-5. These include:
- ROM Pack slot with 'Melody Guide' LED teaching system
- 2 additional rhythms (rock2, tango)
- Scale switch for 'oriential keyboard' mode
