Casio VL-5

I never see anything written about this keyboard - I must have the only one in existence. Basically, it is a Casio VL-1 with an extended keyboard (but the same little buttons), and a 4 note polyphonic capability. Its main gimmick was a barcode reader pen which plugged into the unit; with a lot of patience you could scan into memory entire songs from the songbook provided, but the reader was so hit and miss that most people gave up on it. You also lost the ADSR function of the VL-1, but the unit did come with a number of preset sounds and rhythms.
