Hello, Micah. 

 I can tell you this much: compared to all my other keyboards, my
cz-5000 lacks pretty much all of what you mentioned. If it had
anything that you could call a filter, this would have made it an
impressive instrument! I am seriously considering heavily modifying
mine(bending), because I haven't had a use for it for years. I'm not
putting down cz synths, in fact for a casio they're very impressive,
it's just that the sounds these things normally produce don't measure
up to any other keyboard I own. Even my lousy rackmount Mirage. I do
like the envolope generators!
