SampleScience Retro Cazio: A Free Virtual Instrument based on Casio MT-100
Cazio, a free VST plugin emulates the Casio MT-100 “toy keyboard” from the ‘80s
The name Retro Cazio points that SampleScience’s new free plugin emulates an old-school Casio keyboard MT-100, a 1983 model that generated its sounds using the NEC D931 chip. These sounds are not high-end, but they certainly have a ‘vibe’
This was very much an entry-level home keyboard, which explains the 20 toy-like sounds that Retro Cazio includes. There’s also a single drum kit, along with a multi-LFO, high-pass/low-pass filter, reverb, glide, an ADSR envelope and a choice of three voice modes: polyphonic, legato and mono.
Features:
- 20 retro toy keyboard sounds
- 1 drum kit
- Multi-LFO
- Highpass/lowpass filter
- Reverb
- Glide
- Amplitude range controls
- 3 voice modes: polyphonic, legato, and mono
Retro Cazio runs as a VST/AU plugin on Mac and Windows and can be downloaded for free from the SampleScience website.
