Theis model has it's own Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casio_MT-40
Brazilian/British composer Ritchie used the Casio MT-40 in his Brazilian hit song Menina Veneno (1982).
Composer Ralph Jones used the Casio MT-30 with cymbals and crystal glasses in his score to Amy Holden Jones' 1982 horror film The Slumber Party Massacre.
The MT-40 had a built-in pattern widely reputed to be based either on the Eddie Cochran song "Somethin' Else", or the Sex Pistols' "Anarchy in the UK". The pattern's creator, Casio's Product Development and Music Engineer Hiroko Okuda, has denied either source, saying instead that it was based on a 1970s British rock song she declined to identify. Some have suggested the song may be David Bowie's "Hang On to Yourself".
A synthesizer version of the song's bassline was used as the basis of one of the most popular dancehall music riddims of Jamaican music: the Sleng Teng riddim, which started the "digital reggae" revolution in 1985.
