Last but not least I detailedly described the truly bizarre Soviet Russian midi keyboard prototype Arton IK-51 (with PCB photos, IC identification, some history bits etc.). It may seem untactful, but there was no better time for doing so (living vis-à-vis one of their "legitimate millitary targets") before Russia's nukes or jarhead drones will incinerate me.
update 2012-02-04:
Some keyboards removed from my wanted
page, because I finally got the ultra-rare MC-55 (FM, similar like
GPM
MC5000) and Bontempi BS2000 & BS3000 (both strongly
resemble BS2010 & KE3860 with same flaws). Sorry, no
updates yet.
update 2007-04-12:
I am finally online again on my own webspace. This is only a partial
update, thus there may be currently some missing photos and dead links
to some pages those are not finished yet. I also have updated the FAQ.
Casio
SK-5 added.
update 2006-06-07:
Finally a huge new site update has been finished. It contains plenty
of new Casio keyboards (including the Super Drums keyboards
Casio
MT-52, MT-500, MT-520, the Casio PT-50, the squarewave
synthesizer Hohner KS 49 midi (Casio HT-700) and the mythical
keyboard boombox Casio KX-101 with detailed hardware photos), and
I added a big bunch of bizarre new Yongmei tablehooters (with Yongmei
YM-2100, DL-2300, YM-3300, YM-6700,
MS-110A,
MS-210B,
Miles
MLS-4900A), great My Music Center successors (MIDI synthesizer
Elta
KE-491, Potex - Super Jam, Yongmei YM-2100) and the great
hand gesture controlled toy groovebox Beat Square - AIR-Dance Mixer.
Also many new hardware photos, tech infos and corrected Casio chip
comparisons have been added and a list of keyboard software media, a wanted-
page and a major update of the FAQ.
Note: I will be possibly soon thrown out of the university on which server this site is hosted, thus don't wonder when it disappears. In this case I will try to get webspace elsewhere to install this site again. (Use a search engine.)
