Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

Hi Micah,


well, get the real thing an you'll recognize that their is a big 
difference, especially when using more than one oscillator at once 
and driving the filter into saturation, the Casio will fail to sound 
like a moog, since it isn't able to create the additional overtones 
and texture needed... 
Anyway most VAs don't sound quite moog alike too...
