The CZ series hardware was WAY ahead of its time……. there’s a subtle pun there cuz Casio, like Yamaha and Kawai, were in their origins makers of clocks and watches.
I still have a CZ-101 but I wanted to bypass the D-size batteries with a permanent power supply jack. The only schematics I could find were missing—of course—the very spot I needed to read was in a corner that had been torn off.
The amount of composition with the CZ-101 4-part multitimbral capacity was fantastic. Further, this was all done with a Commodore 64 software I can’t recall the name of but you could order libraries of CZ-101 patches on those really floppy disks. The CZ-101 has a slot for a cartridge with great libraries AND open space for saving your own patches.
In terms of organic sounds, you could get some quite authentic timbres from the DCO and filters.
