i think the 101 model is more tasteful because of the programming interface. those buttons on other cz models are just horrible to listen to when programming

Don t forget the RA ram cards for extra (double) storage space - sometimes crop up on ebay. ________________________________ From: José Ángel Morente

The VZ1 is a different machine. It cannot reproduce the original CZ sounds although it s a more powerful synthesizer. I own both the CZ and VZ and I love them.

Yes - the 230 and the 1000 also have the strap buttons - but you are liable to get a neck injury using those. As it happens I like being an 80s ponce,which is

Hi Lee, I forgot to mention on my reply you can also put the CZ101 around your neck with a normal guitar strap if you want to look like some eighties

It seems you have worked out some of the problems for yourself- the 101 has proper facia buttons and is portable.The MIDI implementation on both is the same -

The RZ1 sounds are pretty similar to the other PCM sounds Casio used,for my money the reason to have it was the sampler function.Even the RX5 which I picked up

Alot of drum machines of the era can have multiple roms in them, and most have had their formats decoded so you can have custom samples. Ive seen Alesis hr16,

Unlike a Roland sampler for example!

Hi Jack/Jammie, The battery is new I put it on a meter 3.6v,the ram is new and they both work in the 2.7ghz Dual G5 which I had to buy to replace the 1.8ghz

check the 3.3v on the ram modules to see if your getting 3.3v on all or if there is a drop in voltage the backup battery for the motherboard rom is this ok as

Actually I have just tried it totally without ram and it is flashing two lights which means no ram fitted so it must be recognising the ram when it is fitted

Are you guys really going to compare a Jupiter 8 and a dss-1? Come on. They are 2 very different beasts. Even if it uses different tricks, everything ends up
2012-10-25 by Jez
Just a point of comparison really. I havn t seen a working JP8 for under 2000 bucks for years, but a DSS1 seems to go for about 1/10th of that at the most. And

The DSS-1 is basically a poor man s Jupiter 8, without the knobs but with waveform sampling and dual delays instead. The DSM-1 has more sampling memory and
