Re: [CZsynth] (changed) FZ synthesizer discussion...what does it re ally do?

Sound like quite some nonsense to me, even if that would be possible the CZ 
Synths don't have filters no real and no emulated ones, it's rather some kind of 
FM type synthesis. Only the Envelopes of FZ and CZ are similar but they're even 
more similar to the ones of the VZ-Series...
Could be someone mixed up the complete Casio Pro-Series...
Long time ago I had some of my old songs online, using CZ-1 and FZ-1 together, I 
can mail you an MP3 where you'd be able to hear the filtersweep, just contact me 
off list...
