Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

the internal samples are 16bit but the audio input samples at 10bits thats what the a/d convertor is so it can only sample at that many bits it cant do 16bit samples 

and not at cd quality either and the input is for mic or ipad/iphone

and at namm it said it was a mono synth but the guy was playing polyphonicolly

and you cant have a mono organ it needs chords for the swirly type sounds

it might be a typo on the specks

  Referring to http://www.casio-intl.com/file/news/pdf/XWseries/20120119_XW_Specifications.pdf
  , I THINK that it indicates that the "quantization" is 16 bits which I
  take as the stored wave bits. The 10 bits refers to the A/D
  converter, the way I read this.
