The Casio VL-TONE, better known as the VL-1, is a compact synthesizer that the Japanese electronics brand Casio released in 1980. The instrument combines a calculator with a mini keyboard and a built-in rhythm section, and was sold at the time as an affordable instrument for home use. The VL-1 is now considered a classic among compact synthesizers and is valued for its characteristic, somewhat raw digital sound.
In practice, you'd use the VL-1 as a simple synthesizer with a limited number of fixed sounds, supplemented by a built-in drum machine and the ability to program and play back short melodies. It's an instrument for quickly capturing an idea or adding a recognizable sound to a track, without any complicated operation involved.
