This amazing little synth datesfrom 1985 – it has been used on numerous tracks by artists such as Fatboy Slim, Beck, Autechre, Portishead, Bloodhound Gang,Nine Inch Nails, Incubus and Blur to namebut a few
Basic specs: 9.38 kHz sampling frequency 8 bit  1.4 seconds of sampling  holds one sample 32 mini keys 13 envelope shapes portamento vibrato 11 drum patterns: disco, rock, pops, march, samba, bossa nova, rhumba, 4 beat, swing, slow rock, waltz additive synth section.  5 PCM tones: piano, brass ensemble, trumpet, synth drums, human voice  3 synth tones: flute, pipe organ, jazz organ Sequencer: 400 steps of polyphonic programming or 99 step chord sequence with and 198 steps each of two solo voices.Thiskeyboard from 1985 was the first affordable home instrument that could recordand playback samples. It also includes an additive synthesizer that cangenerate Hammond- like organ drawbar sounds by mixing sine waves. The rhythmsare made from very recognisable semi- metallic blip percussion. All soundscan be combined with 13 preset volume envelopes. Also the portamento (glidetones) button is really fantastic, because it can make the instrument howl likea theremin when switched into a monophonic mode. The SK-1 has cheesy singlefinger accompaniments and great digital blip rhythms. The blip percussionsounds very unique and has been used in many tekkno, acid house and pop musics.Very annoying is that the sample-, synthesizer- and sequencer memory is alwayserased by auto power- off. (As a temporary fix for this, simply start a rhythmand set volume to minimum when you need to make a pause.) This instrument wasalso released as Realistic Concertmate-500. Specification. 32 midsize keys. Built-in speaker. Main voice polyphony up to 4 notes.8 OBSpreset sounds {piano, trumpet, human voice, pipe organ, brass ensemble, flute,synth. drums, jazz organ}.
