SK-51 is an all-in-one keyboard inspired by the Casio SK-1 (and his brother the SK-5), a 8-bit lo-fi keyboard from the 80’s, with sampling features and onboard drum machine. Called the poor man's sampler at the time, this keyboard was a real instrument and has been used by many major artists such as Fatboy Slim, Portishead, Autechre and Nine Inch Nails. As some of us at Fingerlab compose their first songs with it when they were kids in the eighties, we wanted to bring back to you this particular feeling from the past, so we created the SK-51. We recorded all the instruments and drums notes, one by one with a professional audio quality (16bit/44KHz), we recreated the sampling features, and we transcribed all the demo drums patterns. We also added the sounds from the Casio VL-Tone, a keyboard older than the SK-1 but nevertheless famous. With its nice and true to life interface, many instruments (Trumpet, Flute, Piano, Vibraphone, …), 4 sampling slot and many drums patterns and sounds, the SK-51 is versatile and fun music tools. Record your voice, start the drum box, play a chord and you got it! Free version features: - 3 instruments (Flute I, Piano I, Trumpet) - 11 drums kit - 4 sampling slot - 6 drums pads - Drums pitch-bend ribbon - 3 demo drums patterns - Full Mixer - Audio Unit with all parameters exposed - Full Midi support - Midi mappings - AudioBus & Inter-App Audio support - Ableton Link support IAP Full version features: - 19 instruments (including Brass Ensemble, Vibraphone, Chorus and many more…) - 11 drums kit - 21 demo drums patterns - 5 FX: TubeAmp, Phaser, Delay, Reverb & Compressor - Live Recording We hope you’ll enjoy it! Stay tuned! Fingerlab Team
Midi for desktop stopped working [Intel/Ventura 13.4]
Flynth & Mynth work fine. It's pretty straight forward to connect, idk what the problem could be though. Other than that, from what I remember, this app was a lot of fun for the price. All fingerlab stuff is great price, and really quick to pick up and just get some inspiration. UI is classic and simple, also resizable. There's not too many bells or whistles, but tbh...just messin around it's not necessary. Hope there's an update soon.
United StatesBad demo
I would’ve bought this app if it at least let me try the voice sampler to some limited extent first
United Statesyes
i had the SK1 for nearly 40 years (literally just donated it yesterday because some of the black keys broke off and were missing) and i still have an SK5 that i picked up about a decade ago. this app does what they do and a lot more. it’s excellent. my only requests would be for a tap tempo and an ability to set the FX separately for the drums and keyboard.
United StatesNeeds Rhythm Fill-In!
The Casio SK-1 I had as a child had a button for rhythm fill-ins. Add this, and decrease the empty space in front of the sound when sampling, and this would be a 4 or 5 star app!
United StatesAmazing app.
I very seldom write reviews on here but I just really love this app. Sounds just like the old Casio samplers. The effects are great, too. It has some occasional glitches but it’s worth it.
United StatesWaste of money
It will record input but no output. That’s the whole reason I paid for it.
United StatesGreat update!
I had an SK-1 back in the day. This is such a beautiful app with features of the SK-1 and 5. Thanks for the sweet update.
United States
Audio Unit UI interface update. Stay tuned! Fingerlab Team
