Re: [CZsynth] Re: EZ-CZ cartridge question!

Steve,

thanks for the reply.  that makes sense.  I think
the cz-1 is underrated even to this day.

as far as the cartridge goes-you cleared up why I
only could get 32 voices out of it.

That is point for everyone else: 

If you have a cz-1, no matter how you flip the
switches-you will only get 32 voices out of a
ez-cz cartridge.
