Casio VL-Tone VL-1

It is the first musical instrument of the VL-Tone series of CASIO COMPUTER Co., Ltd., and VL-1 is often called VL-Tone. In VL-1 which was sold for around tens of thousands of yen that was released in 1981 [2] with an electronic calculator, a synthesizer, the function of the music sequencer [¹] [¹], kitschy value is found by a tone to never resemble, is cheap, making it and the musical instrument which caused it from an electrophone player. The nickname is a one keyboard. It is the almost same for the VL-1 series, and there is VL-5 which is available for a voice at the VL-10 which I made small and 4 sound same time. ^[1]

Sound

The sound is made from the thing which almost filtered square wave at various pulse width. The piano, violin, flute, the tone of the guitar were totally different from the musical instrument which caused it really. There was the tone called "fantasy" and was able to start the tone that defined the envelope of ADSR as the wave pattern of the oscillator again. When the synthesizer can enter the memory of the electronic calculator as a number, the sound that was defined when I used it as a keyboard comes to appear. I come to be able to make a sound of 2 octaves and a half.

The small liquid crystal display which could display eight columns of numbers in VL1 was on. I am used for an electronic calculator function, but the note that I played is displayed mainly. In addition, music sequencer function (famous in turn by pushing the specific button in the note that let you memorize it beforehand.this the origin of the one keyboard of the nickname.) that VL-1 is pitch and balance, the setting of the basic tempo, the real time when I can also learn 99 notes of the single sound I had を. In addition, I had the rhythm that put ten three kinds of pre-seted drumbeats together.
