Earlier this year, Casio launched two new keyboard products aimed at synthesizing vocals. According to Casio: “The CT-S1000V is the first vocal synthesiser that can literally turn any text — such as song lyrics — into a musical phrase and then ‘sing’ it in full harmony based on any notes played on its keys.”
