> Remember the half-size keys?

For myself being drums etc. , my hands on limited experience with Casio music equipment was with Casio Rz-1 drum sampler unit. I was working with one for a week while trying to create rhythm pattern samples for a fellow jc music department music major back in late 1980s. I was asked to assist in making a few drum sample patterns for a piano/keyboard player for some music recital performance.

The person that was the owner of the Rz-1 was away and I had to learn on the fly regarding setting up the drum patterns since no one had a manual available at the time. I was able to do just enough to make some usable adequate drum samples at the time. Having YouTube access back then would have helped me get samples created much faster.

Espen Kraft has very good tutorial vid clips and I would have referenced his videos has they been around in late 1980s.

I agree with Espen’s take regarding Jeff Lynne, but I still give the edge to Joe Zawinul (Weather Report)
since Joe always had great interpretation when playing keyboards while Wayne Shorter was playing Saxophone.
