Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

Hi, Steve.

Thank you very much for your response.
Here's the spec:
GZ-50M is a strictly GM-Level-1-only sound module - max 32 poly, 16 MIDI 
channel, 128 tones, 8 drum set (all 8 sound similar), 1 effect, and no 
editability.
It has only MIDI IN (no MIDI out), but it has two standard output jacks.
The size is 1/4U rack, 450g.
A webpage says that it's related to Casiotones at that time - CTK-750 
etc.

I don't exactly know how well GZs were sold. Here in Japan, it may not 
be rare. I got mine for $5 in an internet auction. Most GZs are sold 
under $30 now.
The original list price in 1995 was about $250.

Your information about CZ-5000 would be a good resource. I'm impressed 
with the depths these instruments have. It might take much time, proceed 
at your own pace.
