Sounds:
This electronic piano TALKS!! Much like a speak and spell, the machine will ask you to perform tasks. When you first turn it on it asks, "Please choose an activity." Some tasks it will say "NO, try again." or "YES, you are right."
There are 7 different overall sounds the piano can perform as, piano, organ, flute, cello, trumpet, and voice.
Along with the regular piano keys, there are 10 sound effects keys. You can make a sound like a dog, fish, cow, goat, bird, and various percussion sounds.
But the COOLEST SOUND this piano makes is the voice function. If you press the little red button that looks like a face, the piano will function as the scales. Press a key and the piano will say, in a human-like voice, "Do, Re, Me, etc..."
The piano also has 12 different rhythm you can choose, including Bassanova, Disco, Rock 'n Roll, and others. There is also a tempo button that fluxuates the speed from pretty mellow to normal to super fast, nearly machine gun fire quality.
The demo function is cool. You can choose a song and the piano will automatically play the song and the corresponding notes lighting up on the screen.
Mechanics:
Manufactured by in the year 1986 buy the company Video Technology Educational Electronics or VTECH.
Takes 6 C batteries. there is no corrossion in the battery compartment. It also takes an 9V 500MA electronic adaptor.
Apparently, this machine holds some memory capacity; there is a record function...
If you're into circuit bending, the keyboard seems somewhat easy to get into."
