    I thought downloading the mk-1 manual would help me figure out how to loop and reverse samples. It didn't. I have the mk-100 and can't figure it out. Help? D

    I bought a sk 100 at V en D in Arnhem together with my dad when I was 16 or 17 years old in 1988. At that time I was composing tracks with it. I think the love for garage-housemusic existed at that time, because the drum sound are very simular to the RZ-1 and EMU SP12. In 1992 I synced It with a Boss DR 550 Rhythm composer to make my first real track which was a classic one. The Rhythm pattern modus is very cool because you can create 2 patterns and 2 fill ins. I still use the sounds in productions. And last but not least you can create basslines and (chords in one minor). So here are some tips: Create rhythm go to the rhythm pattern modus and press start stop buton to begin the pattern. Use sample 2 key to trigger the drumsounds. When you want to program a new drumsound press the desired instrument key. When you want to create a fill-in do the same but hold down the fill in key to begin the fill-in pattern. Create bassline by pressing the bass-pattern key. After that you use mid octave range to program the bassline. Create chords by pressing the chords-pattern key. After that you use sample key 2 to trigger the chord. I also know that when you press a key-combination (new functions will appear but how that works I don't know I discovered that in my musical experiments in the 80's and 90's.

    More and more people uses the typically Casio SK-100 sound. So if you want to produce a heavy dance track. Use this sound! Its the sound for the future.

    Like the others, I am also in need of the instruction manual for the Casio SK-100, and would greatly appreciate any help given! Be it by email attachment, fax...yes, I'd even pay for the trouble. Thanks!

    How much would a SK-100 in 100% working state be worth? I'm considering selling mine, as I already have an SK-1.

    Reverse (as I recall) can be done by pressing and holding the sample button, or it was something the same as assigning an envelope to the sample. When reversing you hear a hihat. I shouldn't sell it. Prices are just raising.

    my first keyboard. i hung on to it for years, but eventually traded it with Pete 'Sonic Boom' Kember (Spacemen 3/Spectrum/E.A.R.) who thought it might have some 'circuit bending' potential. i wonder if he ever used it on a record..?
