Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

No, it's not me. Like I said - my sounds only exist on paper (and on a CZ if somebody can be bothered to program it!). But I used many of these sounds from 1985 to about 2004 (on and off) in cover bands, jam sessions, my own and other people's home recordings and even a 12" EP as half an electro-pop duo called "Mix It Up". They may not be particularly realistic sounds compared with modern samples, but they make the most of the Casio's amazingly versatile architecture, and they offer a range of largely imitative sounds from a time when most people were going for more abstract patches.

  Howdy,

  Are you the fella that sold a CD-ROM full of CZ sounds a few years back? If so, I've still got mine. Never even took it out of the sleeve yet. I'm yet to put a computer in my muzik room. Then to find a program or what ever it takes to dump some sounds into one of the CZs. I remember raving about a mellotron sound and the seller cautioning me about "This is a CZ, it sounds similar to a mellotron, but don't expect an exact replica". Understandably so, i still want to slide it in to a drive slot and hear what kinds of sounds it has. As I recall, there were a couple hundred.
