Casio PT-82
This keyboard from 1986 has many similarities with the Casio VL-Tone 1 and PT-1, but includes a "melody guide" key lighting feature for music teaching (not the keys itself light up but a row of small LEDs above them) and a ROM- Pack music cartridge slot. Unfortunately this instrument is missing the great built-in synthesizer, sequencer and 3 octave switch of the VL-Tone.
Although the music playback from the ROM- Pack includes wonderful polyphonic accompaniments, the player can play own musics only monophonic with thin and dull sounding blip rhythms. A bit unusual is that this white keyboard has brightly coloured orange and red buttons and red lines while Casio normally preferred pastel colours. Also a red case version of the PT-82 was made. In 1987 it was re-released in grey as Casio PT-87.
main features:
- 32 mini keys
- built-in speaker (with unpleasant, loud mid-range resonance)
- monophonic main voice
- 8 OBS preset sounds {violin, organ, harpsichord, piano, celesta, trumpet, clarinet, flute}
- 12 preset rhythms {rock, disco, 16 beat, swing 2 beat, swing 4 beat, samba, bossa nova, beguine, tango, march, slow rock, waltz}
- volume switch (5 steps)
- tempo +/- buttons (16 steps?)
- ROM- Pack music cartridge slot for melody guide and "auto play" (jukebox mode)
- "melody guide" keyboard play training feature with key lighting (32 red & green LEDs above the keys), 4 levels and automatic rating
- 2 "one key play" buttons (to step note by note through ROM musics)
- semi- analogue sound generator similar like VL-1 (only monophonic keyboard play, but additional 4 note polyphonic accompaniment during automatic ROM music play). The digital envelopes (with audible zipper noise) are linear and thus sounds unrealistic because they fade silent too soon.
- rhythms consist of dull and distorted digital (squarewave?) blips + simple shift register noise {base, low tom, high tom, snare, cymbal}
- CPU= "HD61703B01, 5L 13"
- tuning adjustment trimmer
- headphone and power supply jack
