The Casio VL-1, released in 1980, is a groundbreaking hybrid between a monophonic digital synthesizer, a drum machine, a sequencer, and a calculator — all in one compact, iconic device. Famous for its unique lo-fi sound, it's been used by artists such as Trio, The Human League, and Aphex Twin.

This unit is in good cosmetic condition, fully functional, including the LCD screen. It's sold with the original Casio soft carrying pouch.
