Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

Has anyone heard of the Casio MT-400V?  That was an awesome keyboard and I 
have a ton of sound samples if anyone is interested.

>hi Scott (and everyone), what keyboards do you own then, Scott ?

Casio MT-68, PT-80, SK-1, SK-8 (previously owned an SK-5), SA-5
(circuit-bent), VA-10, HT-6000, Yamaha VSS-200, PSS-570, PSS-130, PCS-30,
Yongmei YM-250A, Bontempi T100 (I don't know actually, the name tag is
missing).  And some other stuff but that covers the good ones.

And the "higher-quality" stuff: Ensoniq EPS, ESQ-M, Yamaha RX5, RY30, Casio
VZ-10M, Dave Smith Instruments Evolver, etc.

Also of interest, I have a Keytek CTS-2000 (very obscure Italian synth,
doesn't sound very good though).

It's got analog drums and everything?  Does it sound similar to any other
models?

The HT series might be more exciting than you expect: Basically they use the
same style of single-cycle waveform style synthesis as the older models
(MT-68, etc.) but they're programmable (waveform, ADSR envelopes, LFO for
vibrato..) and have a VCF.  The auto-accompanyment isn't as good as older
models and the drums are PCM but there's a really bad-sounding orchestra hit
sample.
