So, ever since I saw the Casio SK-5 at [livejournal.com profile] loscha 's, I wanted one! I mainly fell in love with the sampling option. One could speak into it, and then it would pitch it according to the notes played!
I can't quite remember what else it did cos I was too wrapped up in the above, but I think it played the cartriges (as my casio P50 does), and other cool casio kinda stuff! but, E assured me I was not going to have his!
On my b/day, I sold him my MT65 as, I certainly didn't want it in the end; so much for bringing it home from Overseas .. but anyway, it's gone to a good cause; I think Lol (can just imagine him and his bud B pulling it apart and using it for keyboard-experimenting :) Lol Lol!
I kept talking to E about how I wanted an SK-5 and asking him to look out for one for me, no matter how expensive it was! -- and I checked on ebay before and found nothing.
Quite surprisingly, just then, I checked again, under the categry of "electronic instruments", and, i found one! I couldn't believe it! I was the only bidder and it was then at 49; max bid I entered was 100; yes I want it! :) and the oction ends one day, eleven hours I think.) -- He's got a pretty good range of feedback too, which helps to assure me his items will hopefully be OK, since i can't see pics. yeah! I'm quite excited about this! -- I know one can do sampling with puter programs and all, but hey, this sort of old-fashoned technology will always, always be so much fun to play with!
and the cartriges will be also cool to compare sound quality to my P50. - not to mention the other keyboard stuff I love!
So, given the oction status and the amount I bidded, I can pretty safely bet I'll win the oction, Lol

Quite ironically now, I had a dream last night about this keyboard, which, if you held down a note, it would randomly play any song beginning with that note, and same with if you held down a chord! (had meant to write about that this morning, but I forgot.)

It is so not a fluke as I often have dreams about something from my near future! -- all that astral stuff i guess! I don't mind it now!
til next time, Rdfreak
