The Casio VL-Tone VL-1 may just be the most affordable and tiny synth available. It will store one patch which is created by entering numeric values. Oh, and it is a calculator, too!
The little blip in the middle of that one song by White Town
Sounds like ascending/descending stairs in “Haunted House” for ATARI 2600 (use ‘low’ octave)
Detuned melody—reminds me of music from those old filmstrips in school.
Hard to believe this bass comes from a VL-1.
Robot-ish communication, or old school video games.
Enter a patch by going to Calculator mode. Choose the ADSR preset. Press the “MC” button. Enter the patch numbers from the site in the order they appear here. Press the “M+” button. Set the mode to Play.
Note: since you can’t enter leading zeros on a calculator, simply leave them off when entering the digits (00001234 becomes 1234).
