The RZ1 sounds are pretty similar to the other PCM sounds Casio used,for my money the reason to have it was the sampler function.Even the RX5 which I picked up for a song does not sample,nor does the tiny but powerful RY9 - lowfi it maybe but useful.Having said that I have not actually used the sampler function,I am perhaps worried that My RZ1 will break down and I will have a lump of lead and not a piece of history! ________________________________ From: Jason Adkins <jason_ralf808@...> To: CZsynth@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, 31 October 2012, 17:00 Subject: Re: [CZsynth] RZ1 Hi Peter,you were obviously a precocious little brat like me......lol I have a R50e I love it pretty editable too.The DMX/DX/Drumtraks all sound much of a muchness unless you change the eproms,actually to be quite honest in reality the RZ1 drum sounds are f**king awful but had character! The LinnDrum was the one that most people remember which the others copied because of its use by popular artists of the time like Human League etc,the R50e is more mid/late eighties jam&lewis etc funnily enough the LinnDrum became the Linn9000 sampling drum machine which became the famous Akai MPC J On 30 Oct 2012, at 02:27, Peter Sedin wrote: > I bought one when they firts came out.. my first drum machine, i was > 13 i > think.. did some early techno tracks with it.
