Re: [CZsynth] RA3/CZ101

Yes, the RA3 works in bigger CZ's. The RA5 is similar except with more
memory (32 patches instead of 16 - I think)

Bigger CZ's = CZ 3000, 5000 and CZ-1. Same sound engine as the 101/ 1000,
doubly the polyphony, ability to split the keyboard,  64 patch locations
(3000/ 5000) or 128 (CZ-1), onboard chorus, sequencer (5000 only),
velocity/ aftertouch (CZ-1 only), backlit display (CZ-1, if it still
works!)

The VZ uses a totally different type of memory card. I think they are much
slimmer (almost like a thick credit card), like the RA cards used in the HT
range of Casios.
