Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

Hey Cosmo !
   
  Many thanks for the links, much appreciated my friend
   
  Hey I have not had chance (yet) to switch on my CZ-1 and check out some sounds, been busy at work and everything, but will get time this week...
   
  Hey when we were talking about the ''Colours'', i thought some more on this....
   
  & thinking about it a bit more, The CZ-1 colour scheme, is actually, really really quite unique.
   
  The metallic metal body, those ''light'' blue buttons, the three ''Red'' buttons, the peppermint ''green'' outlining colours, and on the volume & chorus sliders, all the Red LEDS, and the Blue LCD....The Combination of all the colours together JUST makes it look Fantastic.
   
  I actually think its prob' the most attractive Synth since the Jupiter 8. The combintaion of all these Colours Just make it look so cool. 
   
  I'd say it was the Best looking mid-80's synth, only 2nd to the Jupiter 8 !
   
  Hey, changing subjects, I have a Great Slap Bass sound in my CZ-1, I'm going to ''post'' the data up, so you can all ''program'' in ''in'' your Synths (you may of all ready heard it?, Hey you May Not have ; - ) he he he
   
  Ok, don't sit by your computer screens ''waiting for me to come back with the data'', as I'm here there and everywhere this weekend.......but I will ''post'' it up soon...
   
  Ok dude,
   
  Thanks agin for the positive vibes,
   
  Speaka soon,
   
  Best,
   
   
  JR

the're some Casios on the DVD: 2 stacked in the "oh L'amour Video" 
– here's the pic of YOUR CZ (lower Key) ;-)
the upper Keyboard is a CZ-101 – (see Mod-Wheel & knobs@side)

and here 2 nice pics with Vince & Eric Radcliffe in the Studio with a
rack of 4 (!) CZ-101 – and here's the Story (outtake from Sound on Sound):

"Vince Clarke (left) of synth popsters Erasure in the mid-'80s with
his engineer Eric Radcliffe, his stack of Casio CZ101 Phase Distortion
synths, and his BBC Model B-based UMI Sequencer. Each of the CZ101's
four multitimbral parts was addressable monophonically on a different
MIDI channel of the sequencer, which was highly novel at the time. But
Vince still needed several CZs to achieve the polyphony he wanted.
Within a few years he was getting around this problem by writing
records composed entirely of monophonic lines with no chords at all!"

>   Hey, agreed.  The colours of the CZ-1 are awesome, when I had the
CZ3000, I would of loved to been able to ''buy'' the CZ-1, when I saw
it in that shop window in London.

its simply sreams: "POP!" and "80ies!"

>   All I can say is, those were the days ''when Synths, were Real /
Pure Synths'' : - )

I agree...


>   Hey the only thing I have seen that makes me want something New in
2005, is the Dave Smith Poly-Evolver keyboard, even this is software,
really..shame.

the Envolver? pure analog! Checked some samples: they bored me...
poly-poly-ultra-saws; nothing for me. I like it clean.

yes, the intro is "CZed". I had this sound on my CZ-1 years ago – it
matched 100%; I had a backup on Disk on a Korg DF-1 data filer (quick
and easy: dump, save to disk, ready), but the DF-1 is dead now;
and I forgot where the Disk is.

>   MP3 Samples?

you can send me a tape too ;-)

yet (dOh!) 

good... perfect setup for MIDI only.
