In 1984, I was seven years old and saw Van Halen’s Jump on MTV. I begged my Dad for a synthesizer, and so he took me to RadioShack and bought me a Realistic Concertmate 200. Well, can’t say I was very happy with it; just didn’t sound like an Oberheim lol. Anyways, I have my own OB-6 now. I still have the Concertmate 200 and would never sell it. I learned a lot about sound from this little thing and it started my love of synths. Thanks Dad :-)
This amazing guys approach to teaching should be the prescription for all students, young and old. It invokes and awakens dozing intuition, and empowers the learner with a confidence to learn more! Respect - wish my maths teacher at school had been like this, back in 1966, I wouldn’t have been sent to the empty desk at the back of class and given a dunces kit to work with! Thank you Keen on Keys✅
this way of reviewing should be the worldwide STANDARD for EVERYTHING! massive work and investigation, finally someone who really goes in depth, finally! thank you so much; i loved and enjoyed every single detail you gave to us
These 4 parts are the best review of the VL-1 on YT. I had one in the early 80s and kept it with me until the mid 90s when I lost it (I think it was stolen). I have been looking for a replacement for years but the prices are out of control . Fortunately I have just bought one in great condition so I'm super excited and can't wait for it to arrive.
Brilliant!!! Bravo man, that was absolutely awesome! . No kidding - that was just admirable. I really look forward to your videos and whenever they show up in my feed I go get a drink and a snack and just absorb the jelly goodness of your comprehensive reviews. If this doesn't one day become one of the top 100 channels on the Tubes I don't know what can. Keep 'em coming!
You play so well, you get the absolute most and best out of these 'toy' keyboards. They are instruments in the right hands. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and your impeccable playing and time feel. You play as tight as a computer but still human lol. Plus your playing these nice melodies trigger a huge nostalgia 8bit kick. Like you stick your head in a gameboy soundchip.
10:36 The number is called “numbered musical notation” which directly corresponds 1234567 with CDEFGAB, and octave as dots above or under the number. It seems like only some Asian countries (like China and Japan) still use this notation system. One downside (or advantage?) is that it uses "movable do" which means any note can be the main tone, so you might see something like "1=F" on scores.
This is a really great and comprehensive review of the features of the VL-1. As I didn't see it mentioned in this review, I would like to add more thing I noticed about the sequencer when I was using it in the 1980s, and was a fantastic boon when I was working out arrangements, and I'd recommend any VL-1 user who hasn't tried this to try it and see how/if it works. What I found on my Casio VL-1 was that you can re-time an existing sequence without having to re-record the notes. How this works: 1) Switch the VL-1 back into Record mode after you have programmed a sequence of notes into the sequencer. 2) Using the One Note Play buttons, you can replay the existing sequence, and it will remember the timings. 3) How this is important: You can manually play notes into the sequencer, with or without the rhythm playing, and then afterwards, set the rhythm playing, and, using the One Note Play buttons in Record Mode, tighten up the timing. 4) Where it gets even better: You manually play notes for an impossibly fast run of notes, and then go into Record Mode, slow down the rhythm tempo to a minimum, and then, using the One Note Play Buttons, and the rhythm turned on, tighten up the timing of the notes to the slowed-down rhythm, and then when you put the rhythm back up to the default tempo, and it's like you've programmed an EDM riff. :)
Genial! Deine Videos sind genau das, was ich mir wünsche, wenn ich mich über ein Keyboard informiere. Ich finde, Dein Kanal ist der bisher beste für Reviews günstiger Keyboards aus der Ära. Sogar besser, als 8 Bit Keys, von dem ich jedes Video kenne. Bleib dran!
Wow! Good job, I like so much your explanation and your excelent skill playing the Casio's little keys. I don't know why you don't have more subscribers. I hope that you grow in the CZcams jungle's soon, thank you very much!
Wow, the composed demo at the end really gets a lot out of this instrument - well done. I especially liked the inclusion of the 'vocal'-effect with the speaker
I remember these were ubiquitous when I was a kid; it's a pity that so few people realised how many features were actually packed in there. Also, I was about to get a new Teenage Engineering op-1 but am having second thoughts and think I'll just pick up one of these to noodle around on in the park instead. :)
I’ve owned this keyboard for over three decades. At last I know how ADSR works. I also never knew about the tempo buttons adjusting the vibrato. Thanks! I used that calculator to cheat on a number of math tests in school. :)
Excellent video! I just bought a concert mate 200 because of this and the accompanying videos. Please continue to make these amazing videos about home keyboards!
16:32 oh my god the exact second my brain snapped out of hearing that melody in half time, it hurt my brain how fast it felt you were playing, i was like, WHAT, A NICE TEMPO????
One particularly stellar example of the VL-1 being used is Tony Banks' "Charm" from _The Fugitive._ Also, there's an old Flash cartoon called "Homestar Runner" which uses primarily old Casio keyboards like this for the music. (It's on CZcams and still going, if you wanted to check it out.)
ADSR... OMG! I wound never know how it works! Great job, great video! You are amazing! Thank you! I miss my little keyboard... Now it's hard to find, and costs so much! XD
As a keyboard piano player and singer myself, this IS very interesting. These keyboards though small have onboard EXCELLENT features for their time. My first keyboard was an MT-55 Casio that were a good model in its time I bought myself when I was 19 years young back in August 1987. It has on board a good pipe organ and everything. I’ve owned many keyboards since and now I’m a proud Yamaha Genos owner as well as a couple of other stunning keyboards.
thanks for such a comprehensive overview!! i've had one of these for years but didnt know about the easter eggs like the tempo buttons adjusting vibrato speed
Ha ha, you made the same mistake as I did when screwing in the speaker cover at 8:35 that is why it won't close at 8:42, I know you know what I mean 🤣I love all your videos, they are so good and real, THANK YOU!
These videos are brilliant. Totally addictive in a weird way. The gentle irony, the quiet humor, so well complements the knowledge and intelligence of the analysis. I've been a fan of loopop reviews, but I'd like to encourage you to start moving up the stack (as you did with the CAT video) to talk about more complex tools.
The VL Tone was the calculator I used at school and I absolutely loved it. For a brief period, I was the cool kid who got to carry a synth around school every day and it was awesome.
I cannot tell you how many times I've enjoyed watching this amazing review! Thank you for making it so beautiful and fun to watch. Also, I hope you don't mind me saying it, but what a brilliant accent you have. Like Werner Herzog narrating a musical ASMR. I've been dreaming of buying a Casio VL-Tone and hopefully make some music. Do you recommend any software to record and mix sounds? Thank you
I have no less than 3 units 😅 They were dirty cheap (10-20€ each) so I could not resist 😁. They are a bit lesser synth than my Yamaha MODX+ but, well, are pretty fun!
PT1 being my first ever Casio keyboard only has 4 preset tones though that guitar tone I am sure could be accessed via easter eggs modding, as with some of the ADSR sounds.
Brilliant 👍❤️😎I got one as spares off eBay but unfortunately the solder pads on the power switch are gone and despite trying I couldn't power it on..oh well.
A little warning for anyone curious to open up your VL-TONE... So I got a VL-TONE from eBay for a whole 50 bucks and I was very happy with it. After watching these videos, I was curious to open my VL-TONE as I wanted to make sure that the silicon pads were clean for future use. This wasn't the first time I've opened electronics up because of curiosity and cleaning purposes. A few years ago I opened and cleaned my cousin's Nintendo 64 and brought it back from the filth condition it was in. I'm no expert, but I know the basic DOs and DONTs. Unfortunately while opening my VL-TONE, I ran into an issue I have never encountered. The screen cable. I tried gently moving the screen, but it wouldn't budge. I applied a little more force and was able to get the screen out of the plastic cover, but when I reassembled the unit, I noticed that the screen was half out! Later I realized that the cable came loose from the glue. I wasn't exactly scared, and I was actually wanting to fix the cable when I had time. But I just recently looked at my VL-TONE screen to notice that the screen started bleeding a black blob of death! I'm assuming this is somehow from the cable issue, maybe a connection went where it shouldn't have gone. Anyways, be delicate with that precious screen cable and treat it like gold! Now I need to figure out what I'm going to do with my damaged keyboard. Any ideas anyone? As I'd really love to get my VL-TONE back in working order and screen replacement searches have been fruitless... 😢
For the final performance at 18:00, you had to record all of the different tracks separately into another device, right? Or can you do all of that just inside the keyboard?
bravo! ...a good service! ...is there any history of these needing new capacitors? ...I would be amazed if all the 80's made ones are still working perfectly... - and did you ever see anybody do anything with that universal board area?...
I had a vl-tone 1 , and ended up trading it off for some EH effects. Eventually, was was able to acquire the concertmate version later in life on eBay.
Your videos are top notch. Thanks so much! Overall, your English is excellent, but every once in a while, a word jumps out. In this video, it was "epitome." I had to listen three times before I realized what you were saying. The correct pronunciation is "uh - PIT - uh - me" (or "eh - PIT - uh - me"). :o)
@@KeenOnKeys Ok, sorry about that. I was just trying to help in case you hadn't heard it. Your English is very good --- much, much better than my German! :o)
@@KeenOnKeys yes, i am sure. Perhaps 1981 was in USA? Purchased mine in December 1979 in Brazil. Bellow is the info i have: The VL-1 was the first instrument of Casio's VL-Tone product line, and is sometimes referred to as the VL-Tone. It combined a calculator, a monophonic synthesizer, and sequencer. Released in June 1979, it was the first commercial digital synthesizer.
I have Casio VL-1 and my octave switch doesn't work. I took it apart and cleaned the little bit of corrosion that was on the switch and part of the board that the switch contacts, but it still doesn't work. If I move the switch to the higher or lower octaves it will stay in that octave once I put it back together, but will never change octaves when the switch is in contact with the board. Does anyone know what's going on or how to repair it?
I Got a question for the guy Keen On Keys? Are you German? Where are you from? Its a weird question but I recognize the Accent. Greets from Hagen in Germany.
Obviously this is monophonic - but if you have recorded a melody can you play the keys at the same time as playing back the pre-recorded melody using the one touch play buttons?
