    1. Oh wow, I remember having one of these as a kid, it was crazy fun to play with. We just couldn’t get enough of sampling fart noise’s into it and then playing the preset songs back with a lead fart instead of a regular instrument lol

  1. I found one in a thrift shop for $12.99 US. It looks new like maybe a reproduction? Had a Japanese sticker on it that looked like some hipster thing. Sounds great though. Helps me ease my inner pain of selling an SK1 back in the day. No portamento though.
