Strange you should say that Ian....

But no I hadn't thought of the piezo. It's a bugger I've glued it to the inside of my acoustic now isn't it? But if I can glue the guitar to the Casio.... hmm.....

I've been using the wee beauty for years - it makes some great noises when you put it through FX software!

And of course the demo is great....

Just imagine sticking your piezo on it's state of the art speaker Ian. That would be a totally original, uncopiable sound.

Not that anyone would want to copy it.

We do indeed use said bad boy Casio VL - Tone

its got a tiny jack output so you dont need to mic it up thank buggery

sounds like ....well I think you know already Mr Christie....cheesy europop presets

battery powered - and perfect for Lesters little hands

And you can work out how much Del is in debt with his new credit card, what a keyboard!

(It would only sound 'charecteristic' with Simpson's piezo, mug him for it, it's the missing link in the Shocks sound)

in the year 2035 the rocknroll history database will say:

''.......and so the nu Casio VL Tone Movement began almost un-noticed in a small dark town somewhere in the North of Scotland, yet those small beginnings were to become the essence and foundation of all the fantastic music we treasure today''

were YOU there?

YES!!!!

I have the almighty honour of playing this godly instrument.

You can see me bang about on it at the gigs... features in one song... though I'm sure we could write it into some others.

It's sooooooooooo goooooood!

i just found another micro synth gem in my 'vault of electro-ness'

a yamaha CS01

nearly as small as the vl tone with a similar capacity for bleepy tunes

and its real analogue gear (means its older than you Lester)

bring on the micro synths!

Everything is older than me, curse this blasted youth!

Gravity will be taking over anyday now... yup...

If it beeps I'll play it (or attempt to, I am prone to fuck things up, I blame Del... because erm... yeah I blame him)

Beepy beep beep!

I'll have my skinny fingers jabbing at it in no time!

Look on the album sleeves, they normally list them there. Back in the old days he had a mini-moog, Taurus pedals and an Oberheim polyphonic I think.

Kool, I also found a website with pictures of them and there all there. Right I'm off to ebay! ;)

I'll bid 4 on the Casio coz I seen a few for that price, if not I can always save up a little more!

all i need now is to figure out how to fix casio vl 1's and i'll have the monopoly on all you shits!

you'll be knocking on my door 24/7, begging me to fix your dead white boxes.

but this is just a dream

my vl 1 is in a not very good way. it doesnt do the beeps anymore.

although i am quite attracted to that mass of crackle i get when i adjust the volume and mix.

IT'S MINE!!!! ALL MINE!!!! ... for a borrowing period

AND it bleeps perfectly. I was bleeping away in my bed last night.
