Introduction:
The Casio MT-68 was a very affordable analog synthesizer sold in the 80’s that had miniature keys, 20 preset sounds and a rhythm section with auto accompaniment. It can be heard on various recordings and has an interesting 80’s or ‘retro’ sound. If you grew up with this synthesizer and wished you could hear it again, here is a chance to play it once more in Kontakt 5 and SFZ format.SFZ is an open format and sfz sample players that fully support this library are available for current computer platforms. See the link below to install a free sfz player.
Great care was taken to record the MT68 with the best equipment and minimal processing so the original sound and character is preserved. All notes and beats were sampled and looped to offer the most complete virtual version of this classic synth for years to come. This was my first synthesizer, and I offer it’s sounds to my friends and fellow musicians who might be as fond of it as I am.
Note:
- This library requires Kontakt 5 or a software sampler that can import sfz 2.0 instruments, or an sfz 2.0 player.
- Tested in ARIA Player, Plogue Sforzando and Kontakt 5.
- Full MT68 Beats and Fills provided at slowest tempo in the Loops folder (sfz).
