A brief but spectacular look at my small and spectacular Realistic Concertmate 200 (Casio VL-1)

In light of my melodica demo last night, I thought it would be worth taking a quick look at another musical instrument I pulled out of storage. My melodicas definitely need a good bit of tuning, but this tiny Realistic Concertmate 200 sounded real great to the chromatic tuner app on my Android smartphone. This Concertmate 200 (Tandy/Radio Shack rebadged Casio VL-1) is a combined monophonic ADSR synthesizer, sequencer, keyboard, and calculator all in one small package. It was released in 1981 and was featured by several different popular groups including Trio (Da Da Da). While it is definitely kitschy and lo-fi, I think it sounds great and plan to use it to sketch out some tunes and translate the music I listen to into sequences.
