CasiotoneCasiotone refers to a series of home electronic keyboards released by Casio Computer Co. in the early 1980s. These keyboards used a sound synthesis technique known as phase distortion to approximate instrument sounds (albeit not very accurately). Most Casiotone keyboards were small, with miniature keys designed for children's fingers, and were not intended for professional musicians; they usually contained a rhythm generator, with several user-selectable rhythm patterns, and often the means to automatically play accompaniments. While Casiotone keyboards were discontinued when more accurate synthesis technologies became prevalent, their cheapness and abundance resulted in them being widely used by garage bands. See Also
