Skatik | A Hacked and Bent Casio SK-5Skatik is a collection of instruments, sound effects, percussion kits and looped digital freak outs sourced from a heavily circuit bent Casio SK 5. It has been recorded, programmed and formatted as an Ableton Live Pack, Kontakt Instrument and Logic Library. The most interesting on board sounds have been multi sampled and then recorded in circuit bent variations. The system sampling engine was exploited for its lo fi specification (8bit 9khz) and then

our whole sound is based around that

it’s not just a collection of short tracks
