Lo-Fi to Lo-Fry.

We’re busting out our beloved Casio SK-1 and turning up the heat with some help from Frybread Fuzz! Join us, as we navigate the gnar. and transform our sound from lo-fi to lo-fry.

0:00 - 1:13 Small keys, big sounds.

In the beginning of this example, the SK-1 sounds nasal and lacks bottom end. Adding Frybread fills out the mids and low end, creating a more robust overall tonality. We also get a complex and textural breakup, transforming our humble toy keyboard into something much more.

1:14 - 2:07 Lightly fried.

In this next example, we’ll use Frybread to fatten up the SK-1 and also attenuate some harsh upper frequencies. Rolling the tone control all the way down, we get a warm, mid-focused drive sound that is both versatile and musical.

2:08 - 2:53 Frybread to the front.

Let’s use Frybread to really push the sound to the forefront. We’ve opened up the volume and tone controls a little more for this one, creating an aggressive tonality with a harmonically rich breakup.

2:54 - 3:56 Dirt and Dirtier.

Next, we’ll use more gain and roll the tone control back to accentuate the inherently gritty nature of the SK-1. What we are left with is a mid-heavy and compressed sound that reminds me of a small transistor radio.

3:57 - 5:08 Sounds of so-gnar.

Lastly we’ll apply Frybread Fuzz to an abstract loop of bleeps, bloops, and eight-bit drums. What we get is a richly saturated soundscape, full of interesting textural anomalies.

Let’s make some noise!

Now that we’ve explored the possible, let’s go and create the impossible. Visit here for Frybread Fuzz.
