Freakin' hilarous that the VL-1 was intended for business use. its just such a toy. a toy with fantastic "ticky" little beats!
ReplyDeletei love my vl-1 got it for $16 off of Ebay.
I still have mine - it was my first ever keyboard in about, er, 1983...
ReplyDeleteMy favourite sound was 71103848. Or was that 7120...
The memory key feature is still a great feature that alll major sequencers have missed having imho
I bought a VLtone a couple of days ago for £3.50. I swear it knocks 25 years off you while you are playing it.
