RE: [CZsynth] CZ1000

Welcome. Feel free to post them.  Will they work on a 5000?
It is interesting how sometimes electronics die from non use.  Probably the
electrolytic caps dry out?

  Hi. I'm new to this group.  I thought I'd share a story about my CZ1000.
  I bought it in 1985.  I had a couple keyboards before that though.  But
the
  CZ was the first that had full size keys and I used it the most.   It's a
  pretty amazing synth, the presets are for the birds, but with an 8 stage
  envelope generator, you could really make some very interesting sounds.
  It's been under my bed for the last five to six years, and when I pulled
it
  out and tried using it, I found it had given up to ghost.  Everytime I
turn
  the power on, all the lights blink on and off rapidly, and a constant tone
  is produced, it changes in pitch each time I power it on.   I'm not too
  broken hearted, it's had a rough life, it's been dropped a few times, so
I'm
  not surprised.  I was thinking about buying another one on Ebay, I may do
  that.  I have patches I've written if anyone's interested.
