126.0. "Casio CZ5000" by SPEEDY::BENSON () Mon Aug 05 1985 17:09

I saw one in a music store in NY this weekend, but I didn't have time to
play with it. Anyone have any info about it, such as how it relates to the
1000, and if it's multi-timbral?

My guess (sorry, I don't know) is that it is multitimbral like the CZ-101;
i.e., you put it into "solo" mode, and then assign a program to each of
of 4 adjacent MIDI channels.  Each channel is monophonic (i.e., one note
at a time).  I saw a "big CZ-101" a while ago - don't know if it was a 1000
or a 5000, but the only obvious difference between it and the -101 was the
keyboard was full size (and 5 octaves instead of 4), and it had a sequencer
built into it.

Anybody know where CZ-101 memory cartridges can be had?  I'm tired of saving
programs by writing down their parameter values and then reentering them from
scratch when I trash a program by accident or run out of space in the machine.

If anyone is still interested, there is a review of the CZ5000 in this month's
issue of Keyboard magazine.
