Sell or not to sell ...

Sell or not to sell ...

2004-12-27 by Darth

Hello,
I own a nice CZ1 and I have a Matrix1k, mW XTk,
Waldorf Pulse synths + Akai MFC42 analog filter.
Question: I could sell the CZ1 now for  222 USD.
A big dilemma: sell or not ?
Some hints why to sell or why retain it would be
very helpful...
Regards:
      Darth
p.s. I make ambient, electronic and hip-hop music.
The CZ1 didn't let me in these areas although the
outcomes were totally different from what I planned,
although very musical and certainly with a mood.
Somewhat random, but I like it ...

Just my opinion, because you asked . . .

If you really like the CZ-1 sounds and don't have smilar sounds in 
other gear, keep it.

If you you use the CZ-1 for a keyboard controller and you don't have 
any other velocity-sensitive keyboard controllers, keep it.

If you don't use the CZ-1 for its sounds and don't need it as a 
controller or if you want to use the $222 US to buy another keyboard 
(or other gear), sell it.

There is a site that tells the going rate for used synth gear.  I 
don't have the url for the site.  Maybe someone else here does. I am 
not sure if $222 is a good price or not.

Hope this helps.  Good luck.

--Steve

PS: On my CZ, I really liked some of the spacey sounds I created; 
plus the CZ-1 is my only velocity sensitive keyboard.
