VL1 is an emulator of the famous classic Casio synthesizer. VL1 is not just a sample player, it is a real emulator that emulates the original hardware.
Win 32 VST. Submit comment Bob Angelo Sep 03 Sep 03 Very good emulation of an extremely crappy synth. It has the perfectly ugly sound of the original. Everything works fine, even the calculator, the ADSR wich create a sound from a number left in the calculator memory , the ugly rythme box, and the "record" function you can register about a hundred notes played even slowly, and in "play" mode when pressing "one key play" repetedly, it will play back the registered notes.
Very good dedication from Polyvalens to make something as faithful to the original. It is just missing a x64 version. Karl Dec 07 Dec 07 Its cool but the rhythm section does not appear to be working Dec 22 PikaSka Sept 05 Budding reggae artists no longer needed session musicians or expensive equipment. Now, anyone with a microphone, tape machine and a modest keyboard or sampler could make "pro" riddims. If you think you're too young to have been touched by the Casio MT40's velutinous tones, think again.
The rhythmic pulse of the sleng teng has continued to penetrate pop culture ever since. Maybe you heard it on a TV show , or during a skit on an album. Maybe you've heard it via one of the many modern tracks remixed to include it , or you went and bought the plushie. There's pretty much a sleng teng for everyone. But what makes a three-second pattern from a keyboard in remain relevant today? That's a question best answered by a new generation of musician, one using the Casio MT40 in their performances today.
French keyboard wizard Manudigital has made it his career to prolong the life of the sleng teng, and the Casio it belongs to. He thinks the secret is in its simplicity. Like all good legends, the sleng teng riddim has come full circle.
Today's artists might be too young to know the original, or the keyboard it came from back in the day, but still their own musical journey leads them there.
And when it finds them, it inspires their own versions, and -- as Manudigital's YouTube channel demonstrates -- can even reconnect them with artists from the original era in new ways. The Casio MT40 is no longer a retro novelty; it's a musical bridge between generations albeit a beige, plastic one. Despite all the fuss made about the sleng teng, the original rock preset that spawned it remained exclusive to the MT40 Casio retired the keyboard after about a year.
The company never cashed in by putting it on more instruments. Until now, of course. Casio continues to make new keyboards, and finally, after all these years, the sleng teng has returned to its spiritual home models SA and SA are the ones you want. Numerous other musicians, such as The Magnetic Fields, and Damon Albarn of Gorillaz also made use of this keyboard for tracks.
