A full 2 years before the Roland D20, Casio released the CZ230s in 1986. Take a Casio CZ101 synth, a programmable Casio RZ1 drum machine, add a sequencer, a speaker and what do you have? A workstation. Since it works on battery power, we could even say it is the first mobile music workstation. It is missing the floppy drive but you can use ram cards. You can also use something like an Alesis Datadisk if you need a disk
