Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

I've found that curiosity can be a bit dangerous where this is concerned.  Of course there are many obscure instruments to pique my interest, and I always find myself imagining that they can do something really interesting and exotic.  If something ever comes up on ebay, my excitement can get the better of me, and before long I've got another rare but useless thing collecting dust.  But then I think that if I didn't buy that Keytek CTS-2000 or Wersi MK-1 (for instance), I'd probably still be kicking myself for missing out on the opportunity, even if the excitement wears off relatively quickly.

It could be worse I guess, at least the physical bulk is a bigger concern than the money spent.  Anyway I'd like to think that I'm done with that sort of thing for now (unless I find a Breakaway Vocalizer 1000 or Seiko DS-whatever, of course).

Got any samples (or in-depth technical description) of the CT-701/6000/7000/8000 so that I don't have to want one anymore?

            reason why i have som many is that i'm so curious... and of course stupid (not intelligent) reasons like these:

 

VL-tone1: two of my friends had one each when i had my Yamaha HS-200 in 1983, i have both big and small display versions ;=)

VL-tone5: it looked so cool

M-10: it's used on human league album "dare" from 1981 (second instrument from casio)

PT-20: mum got one for x-mas present in 1984, i got a fucking acoustic guitar

PT-30: improved PT-20

PT-31: a brown PT-30 it's a must have

MT-30: one of the first casiotones, i have the 'walnut' version. creamwhite are more common

MT-31: a MT-40/41 without accompaniment

MT-40: i always wanted a white MT-41

MT-41: my first casio instrument in 1983-84, i have missed it since then

MT-52: unusual drums sounds, cool chord patterns.... one of the best in MT range, white version have an lovely colour scheme, strange colour choice of switches and buttons

MT-55: did'nt like it, one of the later in MT-range

MT-60: rare odd thing 

MT-68: best keyboard in the MT-rage

MT-65: you got to have an white MT-68

CT-201: the first casiotone ever made, of course you just have own one. i have the 'rosewood' version, 'velvet black' are also avaible

CT-202: i played it first in 1983 and i remember how cool it sounded (i have 'valnut' version (mint) and the more usual "silver"

CT-401: first casio with accompaniment

CT-403: i have both "velvet black" and "rosewood" versions, big key version of MT-60

CT-405: big key version of MT-65/68

CT-410V: a casio with analog filters..... oh my... a must have of course

CT-501: big key version of MT-70

CT-610: heavy beast, analog drums, typical early electro casio tones

CT-620: plastic lightweight version of CT-610

CT-650: PCM sounds with midi,  nice piano patch!

CT-701: biggest 'walnut' casio, odd digital tones(MT-70/CT-501), analog drums.... i'm hunting for a very rare 'velvet black' of CT-701

CT-1000P: programmable sounds of MT-70,CT-501 and CT-701, strange arpeggiator

CT-6000: typical early electro casio sound with midi, rhythm syncs to midiclock and ain't PCM sounding as they say in the brochure, drums sounds very electronic.

CT-7000: it's huge and beautiful, in 1A mint condition

CT-8000: rare and last in CT range, unusual instruments

But I can't for the life of me understand why readers of the group 

would find this list more interesting than the posts I made in the 

thread that caused people to request that the continuation of the 

thread be replaced by these lists.
