Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

Josh

I believe that this has been mentioned before, but consider using a
member of the Atari ST family of computers.  There were several CZ
editors that worked GREAT!  Optionally there is software emulation of
the Atari ST family using STEem on a PC
(http://tamw.atari-users.net/steem.htm).  In either case, you can get
several different CZ editors that are now public domain and they are
well worth the time to get.  Check out Tim's Atari MIDI World
(http://tamw.atari-users.net/timidi.htm) for a raft of down loadable
software, including the Hybrid Arts CZ editor.
