Casio VL-1

Electronic instrument, calculator, synthesizer, and sequencer, released by Casio Computer in 1980

The Casio VL-1 (VL-Tone), released in 1981, is a tiny combined calculator, monophonic synthesizer, and sequencer. A novelty consumer instrument, its quirky preset sounds—famously heard in Trio's 'Da Da Da'—gave it lasting cult status.
