Casio’s singing keyboard puts a Daft Punk vocoder at your fingertips

Casio is capturing a bit of Daft Punk magic with the new Casiotone CT-S1000V, which comes with the ability to “sing” using a built-in, customizable, voice synthesizer.

The CT-S1000V, when used in concert with Casio’s app, not only sings any lyric you punch in, it also lets you fine-tune how the voice sounds with adjustable vibrato, pitch, and singer “age.” While you shouldn’t expect this keyboard to really sound anything close to an actual human singing, having a Peter Frampton-style robo companion duet with you is just as enjoyable.
