    The original author of the patches (oliveoil22) is on the KeyOsc forum, if you're interested: https://forum.keyosc.com/topic/2293-casio-cz-101-the-90s-key...

    The CZ synths were really underrated, I think because the presets IMHO are a bit rubbish.

    I still love them though. Phase distortion can make some really great noises with a bit of coaxing.

    I have the bigger CZ-5000 with the built in sequencer I bought used in the 90s and still play. I think it was probably used most famously by Drexciya but the Kevin Saunderson "Reece Bass" sound was everywhere in early jungle.

    I like this CZP-1 soft synth. It's pretty nice once you flip the flow from left to right to top to bottom.

      I you have CZ-5000 you’re probably aware of Satoshi & Makoto who are making music using only CZ-5000 with its 8-track sequencer.

    Why is it so difficult to buy N-octave mini keyboards, for various N>2, with a good built-in set of samples?
