You could try to use an ATARI Emulator and (now) free ATARI Editor 
Software. The Windows Version supports MIDI maybe the Linux Version 
does too...

Check the links section for the Editor Software...

CZ5000?

2003-02-23 by Alan Holt

Someone is advertising a CZ5000 for sale in my town and I was wondering how
much better is it then the CZ1000. I have done some internet research and I
see that it has more 'effects' then the CZ1000. What are these effects?
Someone also mentioned the lack of filters on the 1000 so I gather the 5000
has some sort of filter system. What sort of filters are they? Thanks in
advance!

Hi Alan,

compared to the CZ1000 the CZ5000 has 16 DCOs instead of 8 and a 
built in Sequenzer. None of the CZs has a built in filter, just 
DCWs... 
When it comes to the FX it's only the analog Chorus I can think of...

No, only the CZ-1 is velocity sensitive.

How much better than the 1000?
Here is a comparison of their respective features:

Feature:        CZ-1000                CZ-5000
Power:          Battery/adapter        Mains only
Keyboard:       Full-size, 4 octaves   Full-size, 5 octaves
Controls:       Pitch-bend             Pitch-bend, vibrato
Memories:       16                     64
Polyphony:      1/2/4/8                1/4/8/16
Multitimbral:   4 channels             8 channels
Modes:          Mono, layer, poly      Mono, layer, poly, split
Effects:        -                      Stereo chorus
Pedal inputs:   -                      Sustain,volume
MIDI:           In, Out                In, Out, Thru

Additionally, the 5000 has a step-time multitimbral sequencer which, although somewhat dated may be useful. It should be also noted that the 1000 does not respond to sustain pedal info via MIDI.

No, the ONLY velocity- (and after-touch-) sensitive model is the CZ-1, which I own. Additionally, it features performance memories, alphanumeric patch naming and something like 128 or 256 patch memories. No sequencer though...

Re: CZ5000?

2003-03-03 by janoch23 <phlough@hotmail.com>

The 'effects' is really only a Chorus. A very nice chorus I think, 
but still only a chorus. Unfortunately it affects all voices at the 
same time.

The only Z-series instrument that has filters are the FZ's. The CZ 
and VZ series have phase distortion envelopes that can sound very 
much like analogue filters, but they are still not filters.

The CZ 5000 differs from the CZ 1000 in that it's got an onboard 
sequencer, a 5 octave keyboard, keyboard split and keyboard layer 
functions. It also doubles the polyphony.

In short, the CZ 5000 is allmost the same synthesizer as the CZ 1000, 
but a more powerful synthesis engine due to it's layering 
capabilities, and it's a better keyboard, especially for live use.
