Re: Casio CZ Series - Sound Synthesis Handbook

2007-03-17 by Fulfil Objective

Narfman,

Thanks for your time and help.  I've actually been to those CZ sites
multiple times in my search for all the documentation I can find.  And
I have been reading the PDF manual called "CZ-5000 Summary".  It is
fairly helpful.

There are two reasons I was looking for the CZ-101 "Sound Synthesis
Handbook".

1. I didn't know if it was exactly the same thing as the "CZ-5000
Summary".  The difference in titles led me to believe they might have
different contents.  I could stop looking for the "Sound Synthesis
Handbook" if I knew that it were 95% similar to the "CZ-5000 Summary".

2. It seems like there are a lot of "Sound Synthesis Handbooks" out
there, and a lot of CZ-101 fans, so I'm surprised there's not a
scanned version somewhere.  That way I could cross-reference them to
my own satisfaction.

Thanks for the help.  Do you know for sure that "CZ-5000 Summary" is
nearly identical to "Sound Synthesis Handbook"?
