(houston) attention casio ka-10 users



this is my hot purchase of the day. i bought it across the runway at a neighbor's garage sale. can you believe they parted with this gem for under three dollars? i brought it home and fired it up. played mary had a little lamb and happy birthday to justin. what a sound! amazing 2-note polyphony! and nearly two octaves of piano sampley joy. now i've just got to find other casio ka-10 users to jam with. with two people we could make a triad. or maybe even a 7 chord. i'd better cool off...this could get out of hand.

i think it needs a strap doesn't it? So you can play it live?

straps are for sissies. it does, apparently, come with 6 different little cards that you can insert that change the sample voice. i saw it on ebay. i've got a bid on it for 99 cents. with any luck, i'll score the whole deal and then i'll have not only 5 tune cards (one is missing from the seller's set) and another ka-10. i'll be ready to schedule dueling ka-10 gigs. well, assuming i can find a second dueler. duelist?

You dont actually need the cartridges to make it change voice, if you open it up, you'll note that the "cartridge slot" has a bunch of little switches that when held down in combination triggers the cartridge functionality.... all the cartridges do is hold the triggers down for you (which is handy) but it would be an easy bend.
