Selling my Casio DM-100 on eBizzle

After years of use, I’m finally retiring my circuit bent Casio DM-100. The DM-100 is one of the rarest Casio’s out there and a unique piece for any collector. This keyboard is basically two separate units; the top tier, which is believed to actually be the guts from a Casio SK-5, where the lower keys are attached to a different circuit full of stereo sounds and whatnot. The keyboard’s sampler spits out wonderful lo-fi samples which can either be used with a built in mic or using the line in. The keyboard also has various line outs, including a l/r out.

This keyboard was modified by John from HighlyLiquid.com to accept a midi signal. John added the midi port to the back of the keyboard, and a patch bay to the top of the keyboard. Parts of this patch bay are wired to the lower keyboards circuit board, and the rest are tethered to the upper circuit board. This means that you can run the effects from the sampling keyboard through the other boards stereo effects and vice versa.

I’ve used this keyboard for many years for soundtrack and commercial work. This DM-100 was the backbone of MC Frontalot’s “Pr0n S0ng” and it also appears on many tracks on my new album Me Geek Pretty One Day. Check out the eBay auction for more pictures, details, and audio samples.

+2 nerd cred, +3 Casio cred, -2 gold coins.
