Rescued a Casio CZ3000
Someone at my band rehearsal space tossed out a Casio CZ3000. It has a half broken key and is missing a hand full of screws. I plugged it in and powered up! It's 100% functional minus the broken key. There are some fun sounds in this thing! There's an on board chorus and ring mod. ! can make some cool samples for my Solaris from this!

Nice. The CZ like of synths are great. You can make all types of cool, unique sounds on them once you learn how to program it. The presets are generally 80s c**p though. Just ignore them and make your own. Have fun.

You can still make some unique sounds with a CZ, like no other synth can. So it will always have it's place. I get the best guitar lead sounds from mine and do not have another synth that can take it's place. Here is a sample with the 80's original preset for guitar. Nothing but a Casio lead with some Moog bass with a Simmons. Those Casio's scream!Max Websta wrote:Scratch that.The Solaris arrived on Monday. The CZ3000 is a mere toy in comparison.

Yeah. You may have just sold me on that CZ3000. I have an Casio MT65 that was just shamed hardcore.
