Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

I suppose it all depends.  I like collecting vintage keyboards, but because
of the space issue you mentioned, I had to sell most of mine.  I feel
computers are an advantage, but then again, it's nice to play around with
the old analog systems and create your own sounds.  I once had a Maxi-Korg.
It was the same exact keyboard that was used in REO Speedwagon's live
performance of Riding the storm out.  Somehow, it ended up in a music store
a friend of mine owned.  I was able to replicate the same filter sweep you
hear in the first few seconds of the song.  That's probably the one keyboard
I miss the most.   FWIW I just bought a DX7 on Ebay, and it rocks!!  The 'ol
CZ1000 was good for special effects and such, but the DX7 is much more
dynamic.   I've never played the D10, but Roland makes a pretty good
keyboard, it has it's own unique sound.

Hi, people,

I have the opportunity to buy a Roland D10, not too expensive. I have
already a Casio VZ-1. I use it mainly for keyboard training and also as a
master keyboard -midi- to play virtual synths.

Of course, in an ideal world, I wouldn't doubt. But in this life there are
drawbacks. The most important ones are about space. And, sure, another
important one is the SWMBO factor (She Who Must Be Obeyed).

So, my question is for all of you who have been playing keyboards for years
and have a nice studio and love to play on two manuals, but also for those
who have been obliged to sell their gear for the lack of space... is it
worth, today with computers and vst's and so on, to have more than one BIG
keyboard on the studio???

By the way, what do you think about the D10?

Thanks for your reflections.

Best regards,


pdi
