As some background, I saved up my money from working after school at White Castle (a dangerously delicious burger chain) to buy a Sound Blaster 16 card. It was thrilling. Dng converter 11.1. The Sound Blaster transformed my family’s Windows 95 machine into a futuristic recording studio. Thus, my dreams of working in the music tech industry were alive and well. (I’m still working on that dream).
I used this “state-of-the-art” technology to record all the toy keyboards I owned. Then, I spent weeks editing the loops using a shareware program called “Cool Edit”.
One of the hundreds of free loops included:

You are completely free to use these samples as part of your own original commercial and private compositions. I’m releasing these samples as MIT open-source. Meaning, you can do whatever you want with these sounds.
The drums are cool. Some of the tonal loops are slightly off-time. But, all-in-all, these sounds are perfect for chopping up into a sampler. Who knows… You may find a hidden gem in these. Enjoy,
In search of a casio keyboard manual? Have you lost your manual? You will find a link to one here. Here’s a link to the Casio website where you can download a casio manual for free. You will find manuals for all kinds of Casio keyboards at this site. These include AP, AT, CDP, CTK, LK, MA, PL/PS, PX, SA, WK and other Casio keyboard series and types.
These manuals are available in PDF format. It is recommended that you download them and view them offline. If you have Adobe reader software on your computer that should be very easy. Otherwise there’s a link where you can download Adobe Reader.
You can choose to read your Casio manual off your computer but as for me, I’d rather just print it out. This is more convenient as I can take my manual with me anywhere. The physical format works better for me.
It’s wise to go through your Casio keyboard manual to get a good understanding of your keyboard’s features, to learn how to solve various problems, and to learn the best way to operate your instrument. Most people learn by trial and error but you will save a lot of time by first going through your keyboard manual. You can avoid costly mistakes as well.
If you don’t find the particular manual you need at the Casio website, you can do a more specific search by typing the exact model of your keyboard into a search engine followed by the word ‘manual’.
If you still can’t find the Casio manual you need, there’s a number you can call. It’s 800-706-2534 option 1.
