Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

I'm 100% sure that the MT is not PCM, it just sounds too bad! The MT-68 is
not really editable but each sound may be set at one of three different
envelope settings. The first setting is just the preset setting which makes
the tones sound like bad emulations of real instruments and the other two
settings seem to introduce weird envelopes to the filter and amp circuits.
Usually line select settings 2 and 3 are next to useless musically but are
good for some weirdo type sounds. 

 

I always secretly liked the rhythm section though, I always thought that it
would be cool to MIDI it up somehow......

Before PCM ruled the world, many cheap keyboards were actually analog.
I hear some CASIO MT series used SD synthesis like HZ/HT. Maybe, HZ/HT 
are versions of Casiotones with extended ability to edit its sound. I 
don't know what H means, but T of HT might represent casioTone.

And you say MT-68 is editable, and I suppose it should be great. Yes, 
nasty and cool, and it may generate quite similar sounds as HZ/HT.
'Line select' attracts me much. What kind of function is it?

Around that time, sound editing capability was much favored. CASIO and 
YAMAHA produced some editable pop keyboards (Notably, some YAMAHAs can 
be edited via MIDI). Good old days for synths...
