I want to know some opinions about that !

Also I\ufffdm owner of a Yamaha A3000 and my idea is to get
punch kicks with the FZ10.

Hi Charly, 

in the 80s I often used the FZ-1 of a friend, so I think I know that 
sampler a little...

pro

8 Loops per sample
The same sample can used with different start and end parameters
8 Level/ 8 Times envelopes
Big graphic display (for an 80s sampler)
8 additional single outs (fine for drum sounds) ...  

contra

only 8 voices
only 2MB RAM
you can't expect it to be fast in DSP Functions... 
If I'm not mistaken the single outputs where mono

pro or contra (it depends on what you like)

transposing samples creates "lots of" aliasing
filter sounds "different"... (I liked the sound)

to look for

Display get dark so you might have to replace it. Some might have 
output problems, since relays get broken...

I hope this helps a bit!

========================

it's got *DAMN* good filters, and more than enough outputs, but almost
everything else about it pretty much sucks, when compared to more
contemporary samplers.
