This Casio CA-100 Simulator is “a ‘fan-fiction’ software version of the mediocre Casio ToneBank CA-100 keyboard from 1990.” This browser-based sequencer is simple to use and sounds very Casio PCM-ish. Pick a sound from the Tone Bank, lay in some notes, and hit start. Pop over to the drum sequencer and layer in a beat. Loads of fun!
