--> Went to a boot sale yesterday and got a casio VL-1 for Ł2.50 (about 100 buckdollars)!! At first I thought it didn't work but I found that if I turn it on and off quickly a few times it powers up and I got down to recording it straight away. Classic 8bit sounds, built in speaker, simple sequencer plus a line out....love it.

Here's a trick I stumbled onto: run it through a wah pedal or "touch wah" filter.
