Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

Hi Joe!

>I love the Casio CZ series synthesizers, but all of them except the cz1 and cz5000 suffer from having dim grey screens with no 
>backlight, which makes them nearly impossible to use on a dark stage. You can buy backlit LCD displays all day long for 3 
>bucks on ebay, so I decided replace the dim grey LCD screen in my Casio cz101 with a bright blue backlit one. Simple mod. 
>Huge improvement!

Wow, your CZ101 is looking really cool. I think I should also make the upgrade (as I have one of these nice blue LCDs here).

>Next, I want to add a rotary encoder for faster scrolling through parameter values, but that's a little more complicated.

You can have a look at my datadial - I think that's what you are looking for. I have designed this after a discussion in the CZsynth 
list a few years ago.  Maybe you have been involved in the discussion too?
Now it is ready and working but haven't posted to the list yet...

I build it into my K3m and my CZ101. I could send you some photos of the CZ101 implementation if needed. If more people 
are interested I could put it on my webpage if I can find some time...

Ciao
Peter
