Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

I have to admit the CX5m looks like something the aliens left on earth in 2001,Space Odyssey...but it suffers from a basic written by MS,which once I started looking into it started spotting all the old annoying habits that cause Windows to be so crap. I would take a Commodore before a CX. The OS in that has never failed me and is intuitive and easy to use. 
The only drawback was not having MIDI on tap - which I corrected by making my own interface,which was thankfully given by MAPLIN in their magazine. The Interface once made is dead easy to use,and easier to communicate with than either the Atari ST or the CX5m.

For patterned based sequencing I'd use an MC50 or Alesis MMT8,even 
thought it has an AC psu with iffy style connector 3,5inch jack I 
think? and crappy rubber buttons but a great sequencer nonetheless.
The CX5M was nice actually,looked cool too,Iike said before I 
programed a crude looking naked woman controlled by the cursor keys on 
the  msx,my first ever bit of programming,,,

The C64 was a nightmare to program in comparison,It's only saving 
grace was it's popularity and the SID chip...... However Steinberg 
ever managed to program Pro16 on that thing I'll never know.
