Even though I no longer own a CZ (I had a 101 for about 10 years, followed by a CZ-1 for about 3 or 4), I have, SOMEWHERE, a ring-binder full of my own CZ patches written out on photocopied sheets. These include:

Strings:
Mellotron (with 8-second cutoff)
"Wall of sound" strings
Cello
Casio Strings (based on CT-202 Viola preset)

Brass:
Crescendo Brass
Trombone
French horn

Woodwind:
Raunchy sax
"Paul Desmond" sax
Oboe
Baroque oboe
Funk flute
Melloton flutes

Plucked string:
Acoustic guitar
Clean electric guitar
Metal guitar with feedback
Banjo
Sitar (long release)
Pedal steel (fantastic using layer mode on the CZ-101)

Synth:
Minimoog lead
Warm bass
Choir
Solo voice (soprano)

Keyboard:
Wurlitzer piano
Casio Organ (based on CT-202 Pipe Organ 2 preset)
Harpsichord with release click
Glockenspiel
Grand piano (pretty good in the bass, plinky in mid-range and unusable in treble)
Vox Continental organ
Indian harmonium
Hohner Pianet T (based on a real one)

Percussion:
Vibraslap
Timbale
Bongos

and more.

I can't be bothered to scan these. Maybe I should just sell the whole lot (on Ebay?) to anyone who wants them, along with the right to distribute them.

  Howdy,

  Yes! I've got a CZ-1 and a pair of CZ-101s. I've done the 101 mod that lets you access all 32 slot on the voice cartridge. Highly recommended. If my cartridges still have their data, I'd be glas to upload the patches I have, (have to figure out how). I remember one in particular when Electronic Musician magazine had "patch of the month" for CZs & DXs, a "log drum" patch was given. A very cool CZ patch.
