John DuVal - Cassiopeia's Playground (2008)

"Earth Mantra is proud to bring you the long-awaited new release by reknowned analog synthesizer guru and electronic musician John DuVal.

For those who might not be familiar, John is the one-time owner of one of the largest Serge analog modular systems ever assembled, a system nicknamed Fist of God. We have seen pictures of this beast, and believe us when we say that the name is completely appropriate. John is widely regarded, both for his 2003 seminal analog modular epic entitled Hell's Canyon, which is very nearly the textbook example of a perfect analog modular sound painting, as well as for his work with ambient supergroup Dweller At The Threshold, and for his own solo music before that."

"Comes With Original Box/Manuals

The Casio VL-Tone was produced in 1981 and this is the VL-1 first model. It is a electronic musical instrument that Casio developed combining the calculator with the LCD display and a keyboard with Synth.

The VL-1 features a LCD display capable of displaying 8 characters. It is primarily used for the calculator function, but also displays notes played. As well as this, it also has changeable tone and balance, basic tempo settings and a real-time monophonic music sequencer, which can play back up to 99 notes. There are also 10 preloaded rhythms, which included waltz, samba, swing, bossa nova, march, 4-beat, rock 1,rock 2, rhumba and beguine and one programmable sound, named ADSR."
