Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

Hi Micah,
    I own a Moog Source (the supposed Minimoog  replacement) and a CZ-1 and I 
can see where your coming from. The CZ can sound  Moog(ish) but once you've 
warmed up the Moog it has far more depth of  character than the CZ mainly 
because its analogue and the classic Moog VCF.  Saying that, the CZ can produce 
staggering solo lead sounds which sound more  like an analogue synth than a lot 
of other digi synths. Probably due  to the CZ's analogue type user interface / 
OS. If anything it sounds more  Arp than Moog. I don't know what CZ model you 
have but the CZ-1 with it's  velocity / aftertouch features help the sound 
nuances when performing solo lead  sounds. I must admit I have Moog Modular V (VA 
software synth) and think its  awefully close to the classic Moog sound, 
without any VCO drifting.  Anyhow, the CZ is certainly able to hold its ground 
against a lot of  analogue, digi and softsynths.
 
Midcomsys.
