Re: [CZsynth] casio fz10m

Hi Jammie,

I have never used an Emax I think Francis Cote who post's on here has  
an Emax or 2 so he'd be a good guy to talk to.
I'd love a DSS1 again but I havn't got the space now sadly (I used to  
keep all my gear around a friends house at the time) those things are  
f**king huge.
Can you do a similar trick with a wavestation/prophet VS?
