Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

From a review in Electronic Soundmaker and Computer Music magazine:


"The CT-6000... is to be the first in a range of professional-quality,
full-scale synths. It's fair to call the thing a synthesizer because the
vowel-consonant method of sound generation has been dropped entirely, to
be replaced with something which gives preset sounds comparable to the
Roland Juno 60 or a similar budget polysynth."


Not terribly helpful in determining whether or not it's PD, but it's
certainly so dissimilar to the other MT/CT's that I wonder why Casio
bothered to keep that naming strategy.


A while ago I posted a quick demo of my CT-6000 since I couldn't find
anything else online:

Drums are definitely sample-based, and clearly modeled after the TR909. I
haven't figured out how to access the drum voices except through the
built-in drum patterns... They're not accessible over MIDI, which is this
model's only big shortfall imho. Otherwise, it's a really great preset
keyboard.


all my best,
