Re: [CZsynth] CZ 101 keys repair

You could also connect the cz via midi to a computer sequencer or another
known working midi keyboard. If the non working keys on the cz still don't
produce sound, it's an internal electronic/ chip issue. If they do work,
then it's the keys/ triggers themselves or the connection to the circuit
that's at fault. Worth doing this just to identify which area the problem
lies.
