Hey David, this is Hamza (the guy who sent you the keyboard). I've read almost every single comment and seeing that people are getting nostalgic about it makes me so happy that I sent it to you. Love your videos and keep up the good work!

I love these old, somewhat crappy, instruments. Being creative with these type of instruments is always fun

I have memory problems, so I didn't remember having this. Until he removed it from the box and the sight of it jogged my memory. Wow, what a wave of nostalgia.

I got this as a young child from my grandfather who was a piano tuner. It was a way to get me into playing piano as a small child. My grandfather just passed yesterday at 94 yrs old. I will be burying him with it as it's a symbol of something he loved that he wanted to share with me. I grew up loving playing music because of this little thing and my grandfather's love.

WAS THAT THE SOUND OF 87?!? 🐻

In 1982, a German band called Trio (Zam in Germany) had an international hit with “ Da Da Da”. It used the Casio VL1, but you can play it perfectly using the VL10. If you like minimalist Kraut-rock from the ‘80’s, this is the motherlode.

I once actually met Mr. Casio in Tokyo. The year was 1981 and what was interesting was that he had 12 fingers and I immediately was able to feel the power of his brain waves emanating through the environment, thought the air, through the walls... . I remember I engaged him in a discussion on Bach and he quickly became silent and was clearly heavily consumed by his own thoughts and at that very moment the lights began to flicker and the ground beneath our feet literally began to shake.... it was a scary but fascinating incident.

This thing was EVERYWHERE in Spain when I was little, it's incredibly nostalgic for most people here.

The initial beat actually has been used in the 80s in a super successful German new wave song called „Da Da Da“, by a band called Trio. According to Wikipedia it was released in 30 countries and sold 13 Million copies!

the first few notes you played with the pedals immediately made me nostalgic for the celeste music. it sounds so good!

YOOO ITS GOT THE DEATHCONSCIOUSNESS KIT! The little beat is used in one of my favourite songs from one of my favourite shoegaze post punk albums. Song Holy Fucking Shit 40,000

I found this channel just over an hour ago and have gone down the most wonderful musical abbit hole. Your content is incredible, I'm in love with every single video. It's all so welcoming and inviting, and there's this fantastic homey quality about it that just makes messing around with gear so approachable and relaxing. I never thought watching someone opening packages and simply enjoying the process of using some new (old) equipment could be so entertaining. It's also so informative and interesting, like understanding VHS technology, or tracking down the factory for old kids synths from the USSR. It's awesome! Keep up the great work because this stuff is truly a joy to watch.

This is serendipitous for me - I found your videos a few months ago and it inspired me to dig out my two childhood synths for my children to play with. They've gotten really into it and I've gotten them some upgraded hardware but the one they started with was a red PT-10!

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Your channel is special. So viscerally polite and real. I always always always look forward to your new videos and they're an immediate click for me. Thank you so much for what you do! ❤

I love it when you do things like this. It makes me smile and takes me back to the 80s. Thank you so much for all the work you do.

David: "I doubt I'll ever use the beats". The entire music industry: "Mmmmmm lemme hold those beats for you 👀"

Your videos are an amazing invention. It's amazing how you create a mesmerizing situation in every video. I have no doubt that one day you will be in incredible places. You are loved, David.

Ok if kind random people just send you fun things, I might as well send you a Dremel tool -- your polymer hacks will be less smoky and more precise. 😎 Wonderful addition to your library of inspiration -- tx David!!

Your videos are always such a joy to watch - I haven't been making music recently, but this reignited some of the inspiration that I've been missing lately.

Man, i don't know how do i losing your videos, i like it so much. Thank you for your creativity

Wow David you’re continuing to be one of the most valuable people in the small music artist world. Thank you so much for everything you do!

This is super cool! I love how these old (and, at first, seemingly trashy) instruments can be used to create such expressive sounds. That's what I love so much about your channel.

This is such an incredible video, and is really inspiring me to get more into synthesizers. I loved how simply you went over your whole process. I found it really clear and de-mystifying on how to work with equipment (especially modifying the keyboard and setting up your sampler). Thank you!

This is incredible... The audio output is crazy, bravo !

Thanks for the shout out! Was fun nerding out on sound chips. Anytime.

Man, those samples sound absolutely gorgeous run through the dictaphone. It’s so rich.

Thanks for the sample library and the amazing video! Cheers David!

Your videos are always insanely entertaining. You are a musical and national treasure. Love what you are doing David.

The rock 1 preset drum beat was used in a song from one of my favorite albums, deathconsciousness. Pretty cool

Thank you for doing this, and for making a free sample library out of it. My grandma gave me a PT-10 when I was a kid, and I had it until a friend said she wanted to learn how to play an instrument, so I gave it to her. Never saw it again. So this is bringing back a lot of warm memories.

Thanks so much for making this. Sounds beautiful!

Wow. What a fun process to watch. Thank you for documenting this. And thank you for capturing the essence of this delightful little instrument.

Great Video! I just found out about decent sampler and piano book.Your video is pulling down farther down the rabbit hole!

A couple of months ago I was walking past one of our local charity shops (I think they're the UK equivalent of thrift stores in the US), and there in the window was the PT-10's predecessor - a Casio VL-1 - complete with the soft case and instructions. I bought it, and immediately took it home to show to my better half, who is a piano teacher. She absolutely loved it, and insisted I make it my gift for her imminent birthday. She's now shown it to all her students, explaining how it was the first truly affordable synthesiser.

this sounds really really good, thank you for doing what you do

I'm blown away. Thank you for this nice explanation and the effort to make sound obtainable for people

I just started using FL studio so to say this sample library is a blessing is kind of an understatement. Thank u for the incredible library :)

I had one of these as a kid...I'm now a professional musician... serious nostalgia. Thank you.

god david, i just love these videos, its like a whole story and some how has me on the edge of my seat to see how you over came a small issue .

Thanks for the hard work sampling this wonderful little keyboard.

The sounds and beats of this synth or a probably a PT-1 were used by the soviet rock band kino in their album Nachalnik Kamchatki (1984). The distinctive drum beat and sounds of the synth sets the album apart. You should check out that album for a taste of how good those beats can be when used good.

This was very nostalgic! I had a VL-1 a long time ago. I'd love to get my hands on one again!

This is insane. I had this when I was a kid, and totally forgot about it until I saw your video. Burst of nostalgia. Thank you! :)

I recently made something with this sample library, and it's great to see the attached video now. Very lovely sound that mixes well with a variety of genres. Thanks for your work

I still have my Casio PT-1, which I'm guessing is pretty much the middle ground between the VL-1 and the PT-10. It has all the features of the PT-10 but, with an included headphone jack. Unfortunately, it's still missing features from the VL-1. My PT-1 is still in really good condition and other than having to replace the tuning pot, it's pretty much exactly as it was when my Mom bought it for me, brand new, nearly 40 yrs. ago. Thanks Mom, for giving me my first musical instrument and setting me down my musical path, which I still follow to this day. I love you ❤🥰...

Was surprised to see Switzerland mentioned here but nonetheless happy to see my country in your really good video! Good length, fun and interesting

these videos bring me a great sense of peace, while somehow also maintaining an air of inspiration. thank you for creating (:

This was the first keyboard I ever played. My grandmother had it. These patches are forever ingrained in my memory. Thank you for this!

Not sure how possible it would be in the current decentsampler framework but I think an interesting idea with the cassette/speaker blend (and other similar options in other libraries) would be the ability to have one in mono with the other in the stereo field

As soon as you tried the drum sounds I immediately thought of the 80s hit from Trio: “Da Da Da” and how apropos that someone from Europe sent this to you 😂

Really love the sounds your getting from this

Man, I love this channel's vibe. Looking forward to trying out this sample. Keep up the great work!

literally bought a VL1 earlier this year for £35. whilst its showing its age a little, the magic is still contained within it. plays well with teenage engineering sampers and whatever else I throw at it 😀

Very Beach House like

You gave me back a very special moment of my childhood with this. I had the Casio VL-1 and I loved it when I was a kid. 45 years later I can enjoy the sounds again!!!!! Thank you so much!

Just wanted to say I love your videos. Keep making them!

Thank You David from me in the UK. This was a keyboard which I had when I was a kid. To have this recreated brings back some very nostalgic feeling and I have downloaded straight away.

You are the master of sampling. Love all you do. specially the historical chapts.

Absolutely beautiful. Bravo 👏. Giving this away for free is insane, you are the man.

I had one of these when I was a kid back in the late 80s. Hearing you play this immediately brought back memories that I forgot I had.

Love this!! Thanks for bringing up/showing soldering and your creativity with making samples and sharing the samples! Will definitely use the sample library for my own sound projects! As well love your channel and the skills/tools you share here, very insightful!:)

Thank you sir for making this videos ❤ you are a legend ❤

Hey David! I came here to say thank you for making the Casio PT-10 Synthesizer Sample Library! I haven't been playing the Piano with my computer much until today, when I attached DecentSampler to my Ableton instance. And first choosing your Casio PT-10 library, I was thinking.. "Wow.. this is really pretty." I made a song almost immediately! And I have had trouble making songs. So thank you! It really inspired me. And I appreciate your work and effort. Sincerely, Matthew

You're so generous, it makes my heart a bit warmer than yesterday. Thank you.

Thank you for making Decent Sampler i've been having a blast with it lately

Really excited to try this thank you !

Nice work David. I didn't know how much I miss this sound. Christmas day remembered. Thanks.

I had this one when i was a kid!! This video makes me feel so nostalgic, I remember loving the sounds i could make with it

This video randomly showed up in my feed, I got one of these for Christmas in the late 80s. Thanks for the nostalgia!

Thank you so much for the video and the sample library ❤

Another phenomenon video David. Much appreciated

What a gift! Thank you very much for the video and the samples.

Thanks for making these free. I had one of these and a VL Tone as a kid and loved them. Really brings me back.

This is so rad, thanks for doing this!!! Can’t wait to use it 😊

this video came up in my recs and it was an absolutely wonderful use of my time 🙌 so informative and well put together. Just subscribed, thank you for the samples!

Love your videos! So chill and interesting.

I loved this! Great work! Looking forward to try this samples. Thank you!

BRO I LOVE UR WORK, thank u 4 share this.

thank you for making such an awesome sample pack free! the fantasy sounds especially are wonderful. :)

what an incredible job you did man! cheers

Excellent Video 🙌👍💯. Thanks Dude for the nostalgia and free sample library 🙏🏻☮️

This video was the perfect way to start my Saturday morning. Thank you!!!

This is awesome, I recently found my little Casio keyboard, and thought about using it for a song, and it's awesome that you've uploaded the sounds online for free! I had the same one when I was a kid, and my grandma had the one from 1991, which I had a lot of fun messing around with!

I love your videos, I love your vibes, thanks for all the content!

Good gosh this brings back so many memories.

That sample set of the Casio sounds really great. I love how you made it.

Thanks so much for this!

this was just amazing to watch

I love videos like this! I have no idea how to create music but that's very kind of you to make those plugins free! All the best to you

Beautiful work here. Amazing video too. WELL DONE.

As a kid I asked for a keyboard one year for Christmas. This is the same keyboard I was gifted. Thanks for bringing back the memories. Can't wait to get this library! Thanks David.

Great work. Congrats from Brazil!

This thing sounds amazing! Will definitely download those samples!

めっちゃイイじゃん！使わせてもらいます！ありがとう！ Thanks for the great work and letting me use it. This is fantastic.

This was the very first keyboard I had when I was 5 years old. Thank you so much for putting this together!!

Keep it up David, these videos rock!

Wonderful video as always. I particularly love this one, though, because it perfectly maps out a simple process for modifying and sampling these old toy keyboards. It's really something anyone can do, and you've made a perfect tutorial. Now to add output jacks to all my toy keyboards!

Very awesome video! And thanks for sharing the samples free! Helping fellow creatives everywhere

Wow, this brings me back. I had one of these when i was a kid.

Good stuff as always!
