I'm sorting this out with the providers and will include new codes with every purchase. Everyone who's bought one and got a faulty one will receive one too.* I have to thank David for having me over at his place while visiting the US on my vacation. It was great fun seeing where the magic takes place and also for giving me the challenge to make something with this keyboard. And for bearing with me, not being so used to be in front of the camera as you other youtubers. ;) Hopefully it turned out pretty OK all in all.

Hi David! I'm glad the keyboard made it there in one piece. I wasn't expecting it to be featured in an episode with a special guest - so that's very cool indeed! Didn't realize this keyboard was so capable in the hands of someone who knows what they are doing, unlike myself. Enjoy it! - Alex King

This keyboard was my Christmas present in 1984 and I loved it. Sold in the UK at Argos, the keyboard was very popular and almost sold-out in the area I lived. Mum had to drive about 50 miles to pick up one on Xmas eve. It passed to my son when he got interested in music and he made it sound way better than I ever could. Great review.

that drum sound, even though it sounds horrible, is instantly recognisable to anyone who played a recreational grade casio keyboard in the 80's or early 90's.

Great video as always - and it was great to see Anders as well! Wonderful job with the song using that keyboard - both with and without the software effects. Loved it! Thanks for making these videos! :-)

David, your production values get even higher with each video you create. The extra camera in this one was a good addition.

I watch both your channels, I don't think I've ever seen you smile as much as you have in this video, it's also the smile you give when you respect someone and appreciate their friendship. Great video, really enjoyed it. I stay tuned for more episodes on here and 8-Bit Guy. Cheers.

Another awesome episode. Your shows are always so informative and interesting!

In a way, it's more impressive when a musician can create great music using a more limited set of instruments...

loved the colab on this episode! felt very special!

Congratulations on hitting 100,000 subscribers! I love all your videos.

I really love the versatility you were able to get out of this old machine. I especially loved seeing how, with a couple of added effects, it could even withstand the test of time. This video blew me away guys! Thanks for the high quality content. :D

Since I started playing, at the mid of 90's, I hear people complaining that they aren't any good playing because they lack good equipment. This is a proof that a good musician can workaround this. Congratulations!

Ahh! The MT-68 (in white) was my first ever keyboard - at about age 10. I wen't on to become semi-pro pianist & keyboard player player, currently playing Roland FP-7, Roland EP-880 and Korg Triton. Thanks for the memories!

BRAVO !!!!!!!!! A standing ovation . I used to own one back in the day and multi tracked using my own home made multi track set up with two tape recorders , tapes were expensive and so I used the left and right input to the tape deck and bounced to an external walkman. Then swapped the tapes and played the two tracks onto the left channel and played into the right then swapped again. Of course the signal to noise ratio was halved every time and the pitch dropped ever so slightly and I had to tweek the pitch at the back of the keyboard to stay in key. Bravo to you all on this channel brought back some great memories.

This is so good! That built-up to 9:54 was amazing. I hope you bring him more often, or atleast every once in a while.

Man, what a music! In Brazil we have a passage that says "took out milk of a stone" and this guy made this, made a beautiful song with a simple keyboard! Perfect!

Very nice video ! The raw version without enhancements sounds surprisingly good !

A brilliant episode as always David. Nice to see Anders too - great music

"You may know this", first six notes I was like KING'S QUEST V

Looks like the keyboard is using a few analog synth circuits for the drums. So, things like "BD" and "SD" on the silkscreen likely refer to "Bass Drum" and "Snare Drum" etc. The trim pots are therefore probably just for the tuning of each drum sound. On many NEC chips where the part number starts with "PD", it's often a shortened form of "uPD" (Greek letter mu added), so "Micro processor". I'm not sure what the D means though, probably "Digital"? lol The same "PD" code is used on many NEC DRAM / SRAM chips too, so go figure.

Wow, crazy timing. I just bought a Casio MT-100 last week, which is pretty much the same as the MT-68 except for some controls. Great video, as always!

Great fun! Interesting to see it all constructed! Thanks for rmaking this!

I was looking for a comment that said this. I agree.

Could you do another, more in depth review of the MT-68? This video is more like a review of Anders Jensen, who is really cool, so i liked the video, but the keyboard itself got a short shrift. The MT-68 is a mostly analog synth that sits at a weird nexus between analog, semi-pro, but before PCM. There are some cool features for the time that I think deserve a more in depth look on their own terms.

Nice work like always!!!

both versions are amazing! great work you two!

10:47 the raw music is as good as the enhanced one! great job! and that sticker on the download code it didn't help much

I just this on 8-bit guy ... and the wild thing is this may have been my first keyboard, I get in in 1983 as a hr high kid. I had a lot of fun with it, but never made anything remotely close to what you did. You are a true talent !!

I had this keyboard. Got it when it came out in 1983 and just gave it to my nephew a couple years ago. For such a tiny keyboard, it really had a lot going on in it. I loved it. Glad to see a review and appreciation of it.

LOL, nice discontinuity: "I'll start Anders working on some stuff with this keyboard, but meanwhile we're gonna take it apart while he works on it!" Hehehe.
