Casio SK-1 Samples

These samples capture the unmistakable lo-fi charm of the Casio SK-1 — a cult-classic keyboard from 1985. Every preset was sampled directly from the original hardware, preserving the SK-1’s raw texture imperfect warmth that modern instruments simply don’t recreate.  Favored for its unique character, the Casio SK-1 has been used by artists ranging from Beck and Mac DeMarco to experimental electronic pioneers like Aphex Twin.

Rather than cleaning up the sound, we leaned into what makes the SK-1 special. From quirky melodic tones to crunchy digital artifacts, each sample reflects the limitations that gave the instrument its personality. The result is a collection that feels authentic, characterful, and instantly inspiring. 

Perfect for indie, lo-fi, hip-hop, experimental, and nostalgic productions, the Casio SK-1 Sample Library gives you the real sound of a vintage digital keyboard — no hunting for rare hardware, no fragile gear, just the unmistakable vibe, ready to drop straight into your DAW.
