Quick improvised tutorial on how to program sounds in "ADSR" mode on the Casio VL-Tone. I forgot to mention that the sound selector has to be set to "ADSR" for this to work. I also failed to mention that for the vibrato and tremolo, 0=off. Also, once you've programmed your sound in, it will be held in memory until you change it, even if you power the unit off.
Here's what's on my cheat sheet:
1. Set the mode selector to CAL
2. Set the sound selector to ADSR
3. Press the MC key
4. Press the 8-digit number in sequence a-h
5. Press the M+ key
6. Set the mode selector to PLAY or REC
a. Sound Waves:
0=Piano (doesn't seem to work)
1=Fantasy
2=Violin
3=Flute
4=Guitar 1
5=Guitar 2
6=English Horn
7=Electro-Sound 1
8=Electro-Sound 2
9=Electro-Sound 3
b. Attack Time
c. Decay Time
d. Sustain Level
e. Sustain Time
f. Release Time
g. Vibrato (rate)
h. Tremolo (rate)
