Casio had an amazing ability to make sounds that sound nothing like the instruments they are supposed to

[@Gezira]

this is its beauty

[@xxx7917]

@@Gezira true , that's what like about them too

[@diegode415]

I mean it is meant to be a toy, they really weren't thinking about people using them as real instruments

[@reddirtredhead]

Once you hit that drum beat at 4:31 I literally teared up! I have been searching for this little keyboard forever! Many, MANY hours spent annoying my parents with a red Casio PT-1, but never knew the brand or model until today. oh, nostalgia!

[@coolbluelights]

The band Trio used that beat in their song "da da da"

[@jeremysart]

Oh! Radio Shack also had a very similar keyboard back in the late 80s that was definitely red!

[@mindalteringfx316]

Takes me back to classic NES! Sweet playing!

[@kri8beats778]

For real, some Zelda shit

[@JAdeWii_]

My thoughts exactly!

[@Muzikman127]

@@kri8beats778 NES Zelda is absolutely the game, 100%

[@Ce1y]

I had one of these in grey as a child! Thought it was a toy at the time, and now I'm sad my mother threw it out.

[@mac197710]

same. I feel your pain.

[@techsture]

Same here. C'est la vie.

[@GraemeMarkNI]

Here those sounds are surprisingly usable 👍

[@PaulBosMusic]

@1:09 I thought I was gonna hear the Zelda forest tune lol

[@thevanishingsaxon663]

I found one of these in my grandfather's house after he died. I think it belonged to my uncle at some point. But there's no telling how many years, if not decades it had spent in a dresser without being touched. As simple as it is, I still love it and it felt good to breathe new life into it. I'm 34 btw, just two years older than this thing lol. Getting old sucks.

[@MODUS_OP]

Nice! Would love to hear this through a Lo-Fi Junky and some Strymon pedals!

[@JAdeWii_]

Modus Op soon!

[@8-BitHeart79]

Had one of these when I was really young back in the 80’s. It was hours of fun. Little did I know that I’d be using much bigger synths as an adult. I appreciate the trip down nostalgia lane.

[@troycharbonneau8643]

My sister and I had one of these in 1986 or 1987. To get us through piano lessons until we were able to get a real keyboard. Ours was white with pink and light green buttons. Later on I remembered the rhythm "Rock 1" being the same thing I heard on the Trio song Da Da Da.

[@mixednutt42]

Powerful nostalgia. I had one ofthese when I was a wee lad. I liked music so my grandparents got me one 30 years ago. I showed no musical aptitude at the time. I wonder what happened to it? Each one of those sounds, especially the drum machine, takes me back to when I was like 5. Damn!

[@ALWTunes]

I have the pink one. It's still good for its ability to accurately recreate Da Da Da by Trio. Haha. I remember saving my nickels and dimes as a kid to buy it. It was maybe $35USD at the time. Thanks for the demo.

[@davidlancaster1974]

Love this. My parents bought me this exact keyboard in black. Around 1986. Now getting obsessed with Casio again and just bought a CT-S500 and will soon buy the smallest new Casio. These instruments are special and amazing and fun.

[@MisterNiles]

Man. I like you more all the time. You have good taste. I have a basement full of Casio consumer synths. My wife keeps telling me I'm never going to use all of them an I should get rid of them! Ha! She's insane. They are my goto for my polyphonic needs. Jut run them through the modular or some effects. I have come up with good stuff on the PT-1... sitting on the couch, as you say. Get yourself an SK-1. I'd send you one, but I'm running low. I only have two right now. I always pick them up when I see them at thrift stores, so I can give them away. It's the one with there built in sampler, and it's awesome. And of course the CZ series is wonderful.

[@crusingandbrusingtv3824]

Sweet video ! Definitely getting one

[@louieo.blevinsmusic4197]

Just found one for 20$ at an antique store in rural Georgia. So much fun.

[@the9file]

i have one of these from goodwill & a muppet babies casio synth with the same sounds, buttons, & number of keys 🎹 my fav sound is the flute.

[@TxmmyBeats]

The baby blue looks so good!

[@benh.635]

This sounds so warm. It sounds slightly different from the VL-1 to me in a way that I can't quite describe... I think I might need one of these. (Would love to see you do a performance of some classical piece on this, btw)

[@JAdeWii_]

hard to do classical on a monophonic synth :P BUT ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!

[@benh.635]

@@JAdeWii_ Yeah, true :P Some of the sounds seem like they'd fit for classical pieces perfectly. :D

[@keyhoarder]

im planning to buy pt-1 and check if there are any differences to the vl1 (which i own 2 pieces) From the video, it sound the same.

[@oO5Dynasty]

Yes! She’s back with another video! ❤️

[@RufusVidS]

I never saw a blue one! I've had at least 4 over the years. It was perfect for rehearsing choral music, thanks to the one-key-play function! I could record notes from the score without worrying about rhythm, then go back through the tune, using one-key-play, and set the timing. Then replay the passage as many times as it took to learn.

[@ivanl.8201]

I never saw a blue one either. My mom bought me a white one in 1985 when I was 12. That one broke, and I ended up getting another white one and a pink one in my 30's. The pink one still works, but I have no clue where I put the white one. But that blue one looks absolutely gorgeous. I'm just an amateur songwriter, and I keep thinking about making a song that starts with some rich strings and pianos i.e. almost orchestral, and then, 30 seconds in, it "downgrades" into a little PT-1 beat with the flute or a fantasy sound :)

[@nrppl]

I have this thing, absolute legend making a video about it.

Sounds like a Virus Ti2

[@JAdeWii_]

without the price tag lol

[@shedreamedinpixels]

Well... that sounds unexpectedly awesome. Absolutely adore the sound. No idea how you can play those TINY keys so well, though! 😂 And it's got some kind of phrase recorder too? 😲

[@SaintsMadness]

Ha never heard that played like that before. I was just making weird noises back in the day when I was playing it

[@JAdeWii_]

still counts as weird noise lol thanks

[@Skootavision]

Great playing. Made me really nostalgic and want my brothers VL1 VLTone back 💙

[@MisterNiles]

Nothing like the feel of a VL-1. That was when they were built really well. And, if you needed to add up a bunch om numbers, it also had a built in calculator.

[@Skootavision]

MisterNiles funny thing though - I only ever remember entering calculator mode to show people how crazy it was that it had a calculator. Never even did 5318008 on it!

[@MisterNiles]

@@Skootavision Haha! Same here. And, of course I entered the same numbers. I couldn't help it.

[@oktaykurt3637]

Perfect for chiptune

[@sharktroubles]

Okay. This brings adorability to another level. Jade Wii bustin' out major cuteness! Awww🤓

[@robertoenamoradoakaroberto5654]

That was sooooooo awesome!!!!!

[@steventaylor3789]

My second keyboard ever in the 80’s. I used to program the step sequencer with repeating alternate notes then up the tempo to the max speed for simulated polyphony. Also just spotted an SK1 on your MPC One vid. That was my third keyboard. Sold em both a few years ago.

[@MichiganPeatMoss]

Dec 2021: I believe my nephew had the PT1 in the late 80s. Silly and fun. :)

[@RetroPlus]

It looks so nice in baby blue

[@Teddyrobinson]

Damnnn it sounds amazing

[@walrtbstudios5430]

I keep a Casiotone VL1 on my sound desk. Forty years old now, and two more sounds than this, plus it’s a calculator! A million uses (well, two anyway...)!

[@keyhoarder]

not two more but milion more sounds using the synthesizer function - yeah, they sound mostly similar but still :)

[@justenmcmahan1780]

Hearing it reminds me of Rilo Kiley

[@sullycliftona]

Over 40 years ago at primary school we had one to mess around with much smaller with a grey lcd … just a few years after calculators came in …now look 👀 what’s being produced….

[@qix6424]

The PT-1 removed the ADSR from the VL-1 so its not a synth like the vl.

[@naimchouana2183]

I had a white 🤍 one ❤

[@drspastic]

add a socket and optocoupler to the step play button. you can link it to a drum machine

[@stevieg1921]

I love this thing. I just repaired a broken one I got from eBay and am so excited! Do you know if the 6V is positive or negative tip?

As for actual use that thing is a museum piece at best if you ask me. It's darn cute though,. And baby-blue seems to be coming back (UDO Super-6)..

[@No.0.o.0]

It produces charming sounds that are still cute today though?

[@crazygamingswede]

@@No.0.o.0 Sure, but there are so many other machines that can produce those same sounds and then some..
