'Think not in music, but in sound.' Toshio Kashio, one of the founders of Casio Computer, was an inventor who developed electronic musical instruments and used digital technology to create products that changed the world. Toshio loved music since his childhood, and he wondered what kind of musical instruments people could enjoy. To pursue this, Toshio began to think about "What is sound? What is a beautiful tone? ...... After much thought, he came up with the idea of birdsong. Why does the Japanese bush warbler call "hohokekyo"? Why do chickens cry "cock-a-doodle-doo"? Using digital technology, we can create any sound we want, but I thought that what people really feel comfortable with are the sounds found in nature," he said. He focused on the fact that sound is composed of "consonants" and "vowels," and developed the "consonant-vowel system," which creates a single sound by synthesizing these two sounds while changing them subtly.
