The amount of variety on this machine is amazing. Every time I use it I learn more and more about it.

This keyboard is of course, a low end keyboard not to mention it is from the late '80's. It was introduced into the world as being the 'second cheapest sampler' only beat by the earlier model, the SK-1. Most musicians saw it as a toy, initially, but after a number of artists used it in their own professional compositions, it was raised up from that status. Now, these keyboards are a fun addition to any setup due to the low-fi 8bit sound that is often sought after. Also includes a handy recording function for layering! TL;DR Its old and has low sound quality, but this instrument is a hella good time

With only 2 operators, this tiny FM keyboard is able to make some super neat sounds. With a little reverb this keyboard sounds absolutely beautiful.

These old keyboards were one of the first economically available sample based keyboards that any home could own. Comes equipped with 100 patches ranging from piano to typewriter. Definitely a fun little keyboard to mess around with.

As a part of the Casio SA series, you can't expect too much. However, these little machines are lightweight, retro and loads of fun. If you stumble upon one of these at a thrift store buy it!

What this is, is basically an electric accordion made in West Germany. Made in the 60's, the Harmochord is a unique piece of equipment that not very sought after today. Inside there is a fan that pushes air through the reeds so instead of having to manually pump air though it, you can focus on playing. It features a 3 octave keyboard, a chord matrix and of course, an authentic accordion sound.

iOS, android and PC all supported flawlessly!

... and only

It really is the easiest way to get from your mind into your ears

I honestly thought that this is how you made modern electronic music. Its a great tracker that still has support today!

Here is the program to use. It uses actual NES/Favicom chip set emulation!

There are only 12 preset sounds on this machine, but most of them sound really rich and full. The auto chord features on the CT-360 are really fun play with because for each drum style (12 in total) there are different arpeggios.
