24-year-old keyboardists will have heard of CZ synths, 99% of the ones who
HAVE heard of them will still just want to press a button marked "Piano" and
record a loop. The remaining 1% will either be satisfied with the
21st-century version of virtual analogue or buy a vintage CZ on Ebay.

There has to be a reason why Yamaha hasn't launched a 21st-century DX-7...
Oh, that's right. The "FM EP" preset button on every modern keyboard.

like 24 years later ever since their last pro synths they made. Hope if this
new one sells well then maybe as you mentioned down the road it's a pretty
fair chance that they may revive the cz's or even the vz's once again. At
least I hope and that would be nice for a change. In the mean time I'm sure
looking out for this also since I can hardly wait myself.

be a virtual analog with PCM and external audio. It also has a drawbar organ
mode. All the blogs I've read lament the death of the PD used in the CZ
line. Casio has seen the how well all the virtual synths sell and now
they're on the bandwagon. Maybe down the road they'll listen to enough
feedback from the masses and resurrect the CZ line.
