Hi friends.
Do you have a recommendation for a cheap vintage keyboard/synth that I can use to record some sounds and drum loops out of?
Key being cheap. I'm not looking for the "nice" vintage stuff you aficionados are after. More like the toy stuff of the 80s.
The inspiration here is my Yamaha PSS-130, which I got at a garage sale for $0.50. It makes some awesome, super-cheesy sounds, but its capabilities are limited and it doesn't have a line out, and I'm not a circuit bending wizard who can easily add one.
Any recommendations of stuff from the same era but slightly more competent would be rad.
I realize I can get a midi keyboard and do this stuff on my computer, but that kinda kills the fun and the creative part for me.

- yep, sub $100 ‘n grittyprophetone
- Thanks prophetone! I went down the rabbit hole and found the Casio SK-1 as well. Looks promising.nocomply
- Should have been more specific about "recording sounds" but I really have no idea what I'm doing. I'm not looking for a sampling machine...nocomply
- I'm looking for an old keyboard already loaded with tacky 80s/90s instrument sounds to make beats and record them with a line out.nocomply
- But the sampling part would be rad too.nocomply
- Problem is, a lot of old, cheap keyboards don't have a headphone jack or line out.nocomply
- I sold my SU10 and gave away SK1 :(
But the memories will live onfuturefood
