"I thought that, since there isn't much evidence of this synth on YouTube, I'd give it a bit of what I believe young people call a 'big-up'.

The Casiotone (CT)1000p was the company's early attempt at an affordable additive synth. This was 1982, before the Yamaha brought out the DX7. I love the sound of this board. It has a fairly limited repertoire, but a unique sound nevertheless.

Sealed has written extensively, with inspiring audio samples on his excellent site: http://homepage.mac.com/synth_seal/ht... [link no longer working - looks like it was sealed's old site.]

I'd like to do justice to the CT1000P in a longer more detailed demo. I may do that some day, if no one else beats me to it.

In this particular clip the CT1000P is being lent some dignity by the delay effect of a Yamaha REX50.

Oh, and these synths go for peanuts on ebay.
