Re: SV: [CZsynth] Casio Drum , but what model ?

Finally a source that mentions Casio. Out of curiosity, does "drum guide plips" refer to the metronome?


"Sleng Teng" was the breakthrough. It showed how you could construct a riddim on a cheap keyboard. In those days Unity used such "unplugged" methods of recording as actually playing the electric drums live - they had no facility for looping. You can still hear the drum guide plips in the Casio keyboard that they used for many of the tracks; in fact sometimes they even accentuated the plip to make it part of the track. One of the big tunes for Unity and their label was Selah Collins' "Pick A Sound". It still sounds good today with its electronic edge but it sits halfway with the form and sound of classic reggae chops still in there."
