The Casio was Sting's main writing tools around the time of the Ghost In The Machine album in 1981. For instance, he wrote the main riff to "Spirits In The Material World" on the Casio in the back of a tour bus somewhere.

In photos from the Montserrat sessions, the band can be seen fiddling around with the Casiotone M-10. In footage of the Jools Holland interview, the Casio is visible in front of the Portastudio near the 3:00 mark.

Plus, Stewart Copeland remembers in a Songfacts interview that the mallet line in "King Of Pain" originated as a set of chords played by Sting on a Casio keyboard, with a rather "clinky sound". But it was decided that the riff be played on a Xylophone instead to make it sound more organic.
