Casio has announced the CT-S1000V, the first vocal synthesizer that can 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. Casio has built 100 lyric tones (phrases inspired by familiar songs) into the CT-S1000V, which can be overwritten, and there’s space for 50 more brought in from the Lyric Creator app. The instrument supports both English and Japanese text.
