haha good answer alcohol is good to much ;D

While alcohol is an organic solvent, it has proven NOT to work well on problems... ;)

rolling rock fixes everything

As Homer Simpson says, "Alcohol is the cause & solution to all life's problems"

@BadStuff Especially if you're reviewing shitty NES games ;-)

it's a crime there is no comments on this.

😂😂😂💀

His efforts would've been better spent on a different Casiotone model. The "Tone Bank" keyboards such as the MT-240 were possibly the least interesting and desirable ones Casio made. I wouldn't have bothered restoring this one.

@@diggydude5229 Just a note: not trying to make any assumptions, just speaking with your comment as context. It seems like you're missing the whole point, he's not restoring all of this stuff for interest, it's just for the sake of restoration as a means to preserve history as well to teach

Actually.. I wanted to try a nitromethane product. I had read about those on the internet. But I visited several stores such as home depot, hobby lobby, etc. I never could find it.

That sounds better then the product I was going to suggest. It's called Goof-off and it's at Lowes and Home Depot.

isnt the fuel used for RC cars Nitromethane and methanol?

Buy nitromethane fuel, It's used for rc cars, and it's nearly 100% nitromethane, I use it to remove old stickers from old bikes

Conductive ink, I bought the cheap stuff from AliExpress and am doing test on my own. The problem I have encountered is that it doesn't 'grab' to the surface sufficient, so if you wipe the windshield 2 or 3 times the ink is gone. I'm going to test the 3M proper ink for windshield heater repair and report back the results

@Jojo Tully Music haven't got the proper 3M ink but by experimentation I think I found the trick to do it properly. You must use not the first "squirt" of the pen but let the ink flow and then start your trace (like painting with a spraypaint can). Also letting it cure for days before touching it helps a lot

I use blu-tac to remove blu-tac so this makes sense.

"Wiping it off... _again_," Emeraldy? When did you wipe it off the first time?

You put the fresh super glue on the hard glue, wait until the solvents make the old one liquid again and wipe it off quick to make sure it doesn't harden again ^^ Note - This doesn't work with all glues.

Well then see, Emeraldy, you're not wiping it off again; just the _first time_.

your german is terrible.... you realize that most of the world doesnt speak english natively.... that maybe, just maybe you are the ignorant one here.... in real life....

"What's more valuable to me: this 35-year-old keyboard surface, or my 35-year-old hand...."

Yeah that was what I was going to blame as well.

Yep you can always tell because copper dissolves into a green residue.

@@EternityofNight - copper oxide. In the olden days they called that green residue "verdigris".

I'm familiar with how the tone mixing works.. but I still think it is a cheating way to claim more sounds than it really has.

I think you meant Yamaha PSS-380 ;)

Scarecrow Scarves Studios the same thing works with e.g. the CT-637 (which I have).

From Gwendoline Leong channel Hi do you know how to "on" the keyboards? My Casio CTK495 works fine the Tone/Rhythm/Song bank. Just the keyboards.have no sound whatsoever. Maybe just a wire loose? Plug? What possibilities can you think of?

At your local auto parts store, rear-window defrost repair paint. I've seen it used to repair an Atari 130XE keyboard.

I have this keyboard and I use it with maschine. I accessed those hidden sounds by going from midi out of maschine to the midi in on the keyboard. In the maschine software I set up a macro and added a page for midi program change. The extra sounds are on program numbers 20-29.

Thanks, I always love to learn the technical terms for little things like those.

Maybe Imid's _boss_ told him to say that, Sean.

I guess it broke like a boss.

@@SMAAAASHTV xD

My Favorite: Also on Use your Gameboy as a MIDI Istrument

I would also appreciate this. Is the "request a song" still on? I'd love to hear your rendezvous of the Lotus Turbo Challenge II main theme (the Amiga version) in a keyboard of your choice. Very instructive and inspiring videos. Thank you!

The song I hear you play the most is Spelunker on NES that song is pretty inspiring I love it

The first was Fur Elise, Then Harry Potter Theme, And two others

Corvin u

Third one is title music from Space Quest III.

I featured a CZ-1000 in a recent episode. I'm planning to show it again.

Oooh ok my bad.

i like the new intro music.

Huhh... All it is, Gabe, is just a heightened version of the original. Not really new except that change in octave.

I can't find the CZ-1000 video.

yeah i am never sure why he doesn't use goo gone on any of his things. only negative i have ever dealt with is trying to mop up all the residue as it is a slight pain to clean up after

Not without some serious engineering.

By the time you were done, you might as well have built your own synthesizer from scratch! What you COULD do though, is use the keys and switches to trigger a polyphonic synth built around a suitably beefy microcontroller, and stuff it in the case! All the "magic" happens in the program code and the actual wiring side of things is pretty easy.

Yes, put the motherboard on the polyphonic keyboard in the monophonic's case et voilà 😂😂

yeah, but lots of keyboards can do that.. where do you draw the line on the marketing? So my Yamaha keyboard with 128 sounds and dual-voice mode should be advertised as 16,384 sounds?

Now it doesn't mean much. At the time this came out, when I bought mine, it was a big deal. Many of the dual-layer sounds work very well. :)

People were probably more gullible and easier to fool back then.

8-Bit Keys Actually, it's 8,256 (to eliminate duplicates).

I was thinking dynamite but your idea is better

What about it, John?

I suggest we nuke the site from orbit - only way to be sure.

when all of these fail, i prefer thermonuclear bomb

yea but that would also melt the plastic :(

i doubt it works

@@antihumor2231 it DOES work :)

I was gonna say petroleum jelly or vegetable oil. But, the lard makes a lot of sense!!! Pig fat dissolves strange hard to remove things easily. I spilled magenta inkjet liquid on my hands once, and tried everything to get the junk off. Rubbing alcohol, acetone, lighter fluid (naphthalene), but nothing worked. Then, while trimming fat off some pork for my sandwich the next day, much to my surprise the fat turned pink and faded the dye. Needless to say, I greased my hands, then used alcohol to degrease. Worked like a charm.

Andy Merrett LOL I cut off or discarded the bits of meat that turned pink. Only a tiny bit did though, as I discovered near immediately. I know that magenta ink isn't completely non toxic. But I did use most of the fat to finish cleaning my hands. XDDD

Max Kellen they can't make a real vibraphone sound. Newer keyboards use samples of real vibraphones.

Because everything in synths are either generated by basic waveform (older analogue) or samples (PCM) on newer gear. The complextities of analoge instruments, voices etc, are composed of many different components that needs to be either generated (poorly with older gear and with better luck these days Rolands COSM system for instance) or have to be multisampled on many levels to recreate as much as possible of all the nuances that create the sounds of for instance a vibraphone or a piano. When you hit a piano string with the hammer or a mallet instrument with different types of hammers, the sounds differ greatly. From soft, mellow sounds of the soft filt hammers to the crisp clunk of a wooden or plastic hammer. Then you have resonance within the instrument. The nearest strings will always resonate and create upper harmonies depending on how much they're dampened or open. Same thing with a vibraphone that's open, it will have a different sustained sound because the other mallet bars will resonate with it. Then you have ambience of the room and other instruments or just the room itself that plays a factor. You'll never be able to recreate 100% any analogue instrument synthetically, but we're getting pretty close. And nowadays instruments sound near perfect for most purposes. The older gear that David is showing will always be limited to their era in both sample memory, method of sound generation and such. Just the way it is. :)

lol thanks for putting so much effort into the answer

Isn't it Tchaikovsky who composed the original music on which Harry Potter's theme is based?

GaryKildall It's an original theme by John Williams, so... no? Maybe you're thinking of the Dance of the Sugarplum Fairy?

Sporkaganza I know the sugar plum fairy. Didn't know Harry Potter was not from Tchaikovsky.

Lol shut up

I don't think he was playing Harry Potter in Synth Ensemble.
