Free Casio MT-68 Rack For Ableton Live Released By AfroDJMac

AfroDJMac has released a free Ableton Live rack featuring the sounds of an old Casio MT-68 toy keyboard.

This week’s free Ableton Live Pack comes from samples of an old Casio MT-68 keyboard sent to me by my lifelong friend Mike Longo. One of my favorite things about this instrument and is how the sound changes over time. We set the samples to play normally, then to loop backwards and forwards, and every time it loops some cool things happen to the sound, i.e. glitches, pops, twists, etc.

It gives the synth an organic movement that you don’t get with the original. We put controls for Sampler’s FM Osc, and moving those knobs while playing will add all kinds of layers of goodness to your sound. Crank the FM Osc Type and FM Osc Volume knobs to the max and you in effect have a white noise generator.

The Casio MT-68 rack is available for free download via AfroDJMac’s website. He has also recently released a set of glitchy Moog Little Phatty drums in collaboration with Voltage Disciple.
