Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

actually it is way to much fun to give up on and with some effects--WOW
I find the battery are most important to save your patch work,, but
the time for programming is expensive on battery cost.. They last
longer as memory savors... so it is a must to get fixed.. unless you
midi. the buttons may just need a cleaning.. find a tech who will
check it out.. then you know!

good luck
