What the hell? Where did you find this? I want it! Josh  [j8-AT-paisd.com]  06/05/2002 11:16

As far as I can tell, your SK-8a is the only one in the free world. Ok, probably not. But google searches of newsgroup history, google, yahoo searches....nobody else has ever posted a picture of one, much less ABOUT the keyboard anywhere.. Sean Elliot  [info-AT-fumcn.org]  01/20/2003 09:59

i picked one of these up yesterday in a remote shop, its missing the rom card, but this is truly an amazing piece of machinery, it has an incredible built in sampler for guitar and mic. todd cunningham  [regionfourzeroone-AT-hotmail.com]  01/22/2003 01:25

I have circit-bent my normal SK-8; I added also the slider + 2 additional rhythm buttons + 4 drumpad buttons, but with my hacked version the slider only exchanges 2 rhythms in "arabic" mode and plays tom drum and clap sounds on all keys when set to "set 1" or "set 2".

I just checked my modified Casio SK-8 again; my added "scale" switch works indeed! Just switch it to the 1st "set" mode and press all keys those shall be transposed 1 quartertone up, then switch to the 2nd "set" mode and press all keys to be transposed 1 quartertone down (the rightmost key always resets to default tuning). Then switch to "arabic" and voila - a new tone scale! It sounds almost like Atari POKEY - very anti-establishment, this de-scaler. My upgrade consists only of a switch slider (made from wood and sheet metal, modelled after the given ones), a slot soldering-ironed into the front panel and a diode added to the control panel PCB, and it works perfectly. Its almost an oriental keyboard now, although it has not the instrumentation of the SK-8A.

I opened my SK8... the circuit board includes some points for the forth slider, labeled arabic, normal b and # .... I don´t think it would be too hard to add the slider... CANDYBAR  [thecandybars-AT-hotmail.com]  10/17/2003 08:01

Not that I want to buy it from you I just want to know If someone was to sell it to me wat would be a good price Hamiltoon  [electrosonoids-AT-hotmail.com]  12/01/2003 11:08

Well Hamiltoon, I bought this beauty about two years ago, and I don't regret it one bit. I live in Italia and I bought it in London for about 498 Pounds. That's merely 750 Dollars I think. Buy it. Doystra Kaobe  [lauravanherck-AT-hotmail.com]  02/10/2004 07:20

Hi all I have an SK-8A if anyone is interested email me Guy  [qayamah_shor-AT-yahoo.co.uk]  07/23/2009 09:21

There's nothing unusual about an arabic keyboard when it comes to Casio. At least a third of all the keyboards Casio ever made were released as an arabic version. The reason for this is because Middle Eastern music is composed on a completely different scale than western music, hence the scale slider on the SK-8A. All arabic keyboards that Casio made always had hidden samples and instruments programmed onto the chips and extra controls were added to activate the arabic musical scales. Arabic keyboards are very common. Arabic SK-8s are not. Alex Andersson  [casiosk1-AT-yopmail.com]  12/16/2009 09:42

Would love one but does anyone know what models of arabic keyboard are easier to obtain? Any links to cheap small arabic keyboards? thanks in advance camedon seed  [camedonseed-AT-yahoo.co.uk]  04/13/2010 08:15

Hi everyone. About twenty years ago, A friend of mine had a CASIO SK8A that interested me a lot. I was still too young that time and was able to play the keyboard fairly well. I had a CASIO VL-TONE, which had a calculator obviously and I learned to play the keyboard through it. About a year or two, I realized that my friend had a CASIO SK8A which demonstrated Arabic songs and was crazy about it. I just borrowed it from him for one day and hadn't been able to see that keyboard again. Now, my question is: Do you have more pictures of this musical instrument (keyboard) in high resolution and songs recorded by it? If yes, would you be so kind as to send me some via E-Mail? I'd appreciative. Many thanks. Farid   [negahe_now-AT-rocketmail.com]  05/04/2010 08:27
