A bit of background information:
The Casio sk-5 sampling keyboard was the successor to the earlier sk-1. I'm not entirely sure precisely which year they were introduced, sometime around 1986-88 seems probable. The sk-5 has the following features: A 32-note minisize keyboard Eight preset tones ten preset rhythms with variable tempo Four preset percussion samples triggered by rubber pads The ability to capture and store up to four samples and replay them using a further four rubber pads or the keys. Samples can also be tuned and manipulated using six preset envelopes and reverse and loop functions A three-part onboard sequencer with variable tempo The ability to store sample and sequence data if 5xAA batteries are used A built-in condenser microphone for sampling Mic and line level inputs for sampling A headphone / line output
