Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

Like the Iron Man clip, very timely........

Well,my EX-800 has survived although I think it has been opened up and  
renovated over the years,and so it should have been the money I paid  
for it,this has 6 stage envelopes by the way. ;)
I thought your FM/PD/LA video was pretty good,I'm looking forward to  
watching the Kawai additive and additive+pcm one.
