Ok I have an SNES in mothballs in the closet….still works good…..I’m flabbergasted!!!!!!
It sounds like it turns your Casio keyboard into… another Casio keyboard? 😛
This is not a synthesizer. Its a toy keyboard
everything that makes sound is a toy
This is awesome
i had a wayfar MIDInes for a while
it was a perfect combo for the Octatrack, considering how it handled MIDI
fun little synth, especially the sample channel
this old chips sounds so so good
You cannot really edit any parameters`?
“All SPC700 DSP registers are directly writable via CC messages, including echo registers”
This put through guitar pedals, or Hainbachs Wires etc will generate a near infinite set of naughtiness. As does any Yamaha prs keyboard of the same era. Leap over the 80’s,90’s,00’s in a single pound (remembering to land on one knee) oh the pain. That’s where the parameters will be.
