Re: [CZsynth] A keyboard which produces realistic Piano, Brass section & Strings?

2004-01-20 by Andrew Bohachewsky

Sorry, I couldn't resist. I do have to point out that the CP70 is a way 
much cooler instrument than those you mention... though I have to admit 
that I have not yet run across one of those cheap Casios with the realistic 
piano samples.

Also, the thought of playing "organ" on a "piano action" keyboard makes me 
shudder. :-?
