Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

Hiya,

Trust me if you have used a DSS-1 it is a synth more than a sampler it  
has f**k all memory for a start but enough to sample analogue  
waveforms in and obviously the digital synth section plus the res  
filters and twin DDL's which can be made to chorus/thicken up the sound.
The Jupiter 8a is the midi one I bet it broke down loads prob like the  
OB8/Prophet5/Memorymoog et al of similar era but I wouldn't bother  
with a Jupiter 6 even though they all have midi they just don't sound  
as good as the JP8 I'd rather have a JX8P than a JP6 personally even  
though they do have a DCO's but thats just me.
