"History of Casio Synthesizers" by Throckmorton is AI written gibberish. DO NOT BUY THIS GARBAGE! 

The film allegedly known as "Bladerunner" release date was 10th july 1982 so a full 3 years before the CZ-5000. So Vangelis had a time machine and jumped 3 years ahead to get the phase distortion sound for the movie.

The future of literature. I hate this timeline.

Reminds me of the AI vegan cookbook that relies on ingredients like bacon.

Even his name sounds AI-generated.

Korg O1/W was originally M10, until someone wrote it upside down.

Instructions unclear: I've now got my Atari 1040 ST connected to my belly button. What scares me about those nonsense AI books is that people may read at least much of them without realizing they're nonsense and believe in those made up "facts". It's a direct threat to knowledge.

Reminder: Only human-authored works are granted copyright.

Bro holding the book looking like a flamenco guitarist

This kind of laziness and greed is what will bring about the collapse of modern society. Thank for for exposing this clown.

"This book is your all-access pass to the subversive party where CASIO crashed in, transforming every aspiring artist into a sonic insurgent." - From the back of the book #sonicinsurgent #casioliberationfront

So! I didn't know "Cousin Throckmorton" was a meme. I just found out 5 minutes ago. The Throckmorton I was referring to was a document specialist, George Throckmorton. www.fairlatterdaysaints.org/authors/throckmorton-george He appears in Murder Among The Mormons. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_Among_the_Mormons

there's way too many of these for any amount of youtubers to reasonably tear down like this, but thank you for making a dent

Just realised the A.I. engine has simply confused analogue with acoustic. But easy mistake to make due to all the voodoo nonsense people believe already about analog synths...maybe it is not too much of a stretch? Lol

The Miami Vice soundtrack on an MT40 would sound so hilarious

The same fake author has a book The history of Synthwave that is this exact same pile of gibberish and non existent Synthwave artists. Fortunately I bought the kindle version that was only $3 CAD but the book was $42 CAD. When the author was listing prominent artists of all the sub genre of Synthwave, I was looking them up if I didn’t know them. From those I didn’t know, 2 out of 3 didn’t exist on any streaming platforms or RU-vid and the rest were not associated with Synthwave by any stretch of the imagination. Clearly this is a scam, the author spots relatively niche subjects and publish these books hoping to make a few bucks on unsuspecting people.

look at the size of the text and the formatting 😂

A quick google reveals harkimer is quite the versatile author with many diverse areas of expertise. Of course his work comes at a premium price point…

I haven't checked but I assume this is Amazon indie publishing? Such a waste.

Maybe this AI shit will have real human proofreaders back in a job.

Vangelis used mainly the Yamaha CS-80 analog synthesizer on the Blade Runner soundtrack. The Miami Vice soundtrack, which was done by Jan Hammer features the Fairlight CMI and Roland Jupiter 8 among other stuff.

NIN used theSK-1, but for the production of their FIRST allbum (the only one made in the 80's, which is what it says in the book) Trent primarily used the Oberheim Xpander, which had a sound he liked. in fact, the Wikipedia page does not even MENTION Casio, and you'd be hard pressed to find a cross-reference mention of NIN and the VZ-1 on the same page ANYWHERE on the internet...

URGH! I hate this so much! And what's worse is I bet you could update a wikipedia entry and use information from this published book as a reference. URRRRGHHH :( :( :(

Analogue synthesisers, AKA a brass band, didn't need any power!

Those fingernails

Junk books have always existed. Flagship global marketplaces with less standards than drug dealers is the key issue in this trash getting sales

if they had just copied the Wikipedia page for CASIO, it would have been slightly more accurate. in fact, if they had even READ the Wikipedia article, they might have realized their text was flawed. though i strongly doubt they even read their own book. just copypasted it from the AI interface...

Unusual narrative, bicker and banter made effective by people that genuinely appreciate the untold Truth this book evidently lacks, lots of viable info, thx guys you earned my subscribe !

this is terrorism. I mean, paying printers to take a giant shit in the body of historical knowledge and for WHAT?!

Herkimer Throckmorton sounds like a pseudonym under which Sherlock Holmes could have published esoteric articles while hiding after Reichenbach.

#tldr This book asserts that the drawback of digital synthesizers is that they require electricity to run; unlike analog synthesizers... which defy the laws of physics and work even without power connected . #freeenergy

LMAO bill has long gorgeous fingernails. do you ever put paint on those?

I checked through it today and despite the first ROM PACK model (the PT-50); being on the cover... I cannot find any reference whatsoever to ROM packs or key guide lights in the book. For some reason the entire PT series and the educational variants from other series were totally ignored. Which partially makes sense as the toy models don't have "synth" features...but plenty of toy sized models ARE mentioned in other contexts so this is almost the strangest anomaly of the book as it makes the cover a complete lie

Holy shit WTF???

More distracted by those nails.

Thanks for the advice. I am afraid it won't be the last one

Herkimer Throckmorton is talking about analog clocks not synthesizers

What a piece of BS. As a Casio psychofan, who had more than 100 Casio synths and keyboards, i am deeply saddened by this "publication".

Herkimer Throckmorton has published a lot of books on various subjects the last year.

The only throckmorton I’ve heard of is a character in the sinking city, an HP Lovecraft based video game. Fairy baroque choice of name.

The parentheses everywhere are both closing parentheses. A professional typesetter wouldn't be caught dead making such a stupid typographical mistake. Also some sentences also have two spaces between them, and professional typesetters don't use leftover bad habits from the typewriter age, especially not arbitrarily on only some sentences. It's another reason it's print-on-demand trash, it's someone's LaTeX project copied and pasted into a book. And the lazy writer didn't even bother fixing the parentheses problem with the \dirtytalk package

suggestion to just hold books open on a table to avoid the jittery thing

outrageous. and probably the iceberg tip. lucky most people dont bother reading books anymore.

Spot on for calling the person a grifter, as that's exactly what they are

Love that flavour of vegie chips

We are living through the end of information!❤

I clicked on this video to listen to while getting ready for bed, and it was delightful. I don't know much about synths but I do hate AI. However I gotta say, I have recently done my first circuit bend (a Casio SA-5) and the glitches immediately reminded me of NIN - Things Falling Apart

So we are turning publishing into Spotify. Awesome. I mean, editing was already dead, trust me, but yeah this is appalling.

Yamaha CS-80 or.....Casio CZ5000. I'll take the CZ5000 said vangelis never

You can tell it's AI before you open it. Only an AI would choose "Herkimer Throckmorton" as a plausible author name.

Commenting for the algorithm

That thumbnail tho

Thank you for the warning!!

would buy an AI book about drop bears!

1:04 Sounds like AI interprets analog synthesizer as something like a piano or harp.

Always thought Throckmorton was a cool name. Theres a town in Texas outside Dallas called Throckmorton. Herkimer Throckmorton sounds like an LPC alias or some shit.

I'd classify this book belonging to the "parody" genre. Only THEN it would make kind of sense.

The (sadly dormant) channel magevers has nice examples of what synthies were used for the Bladerunner soundtrack. Obernheim something-something and Juno 60 apparently. There's loads of good analog synth demos on that channel, worth a listen!

Damn... you gotta wonder how many other books they have slopped out already to have arrived at a half-ass attempt of Casio synth history. The funny thing is, this probably a product of scanning through you two's publishing and comments around the web mixed with the average Joe talking shit about how crappy Casio is 😂.

Oh you mean my cousin, Throckmorton?

Find out who's behind it and make sure everyone knows they're lazy scammers.

eh kurwa

#aiscam #aifail #casiohistory #casiosynthesizers

You bought it

Bro bought a book from a man named THROCKMORTON and expected Simon Reynolds

Blade Runner was 1982. It's not hard to check :)

Apologies to @HighTreason610 ...he did get his cz to sound kinda dystopian..but i was speaking generally here...not edge cases.🙏

Good video, but please cut your nails.

First!

why would you buy a book solely about casio and not a brand like roland tho or buchla. casio don’t have a lot under the belt

Any book on synthesisers highly likely is a piece of garbage as a it's still unclear how reading can help with use of an instrument unless it's a MIDI Implementation manual by the manufacturer.

Who really needs a book about casio keyboards though? Dont buu pointless crap and you wont get pointless crap.
