After struggling with analog synths for a while, I decided to try a CZ3000 out of curiosity. It turned out to be a lot of fun to play around with and learn about a unique form of digital synthesis (phase distortion). But beyond amusement, I found it's low sound quality and other deficiencies make it unsuitable for most serious recording projects.

I had this one once when I was just starting out playing synths. If you can get it cheap, it just might be worth a try. It's got MIDI and is ok to use. Just don't expect too much.

Casio has made themself a name with the phasedistortion synthesis, and i like
the sound of fm-synths, especially the "Wistle" kind of sounds.
I don't think the keyboard of this synthesizer is "crap" as mentioned in the
summary, my keyboard is smooth and easy-played. If I don't remember wrong there
was two distributions of the cz-3000/5000 synthesizers, the later one with a
cheaper not so smooth keyboard, with the typical plastic Casio touch.
Does anybody now anything for sure? mail me please it's always good to have
useless knowledge.

I recently bought a CZ3000 for about $100 and I´m quite happy with it. The noise level is a bit too high when the stereo chorus is turned on, but the CZ 3000 is well worth the money I spent on it. Anyone who knows if there is any patch editing program for the Atari ST??

I like my CZ-3000 because it is my first synthesizer.
It has the capabilities that I need for small time bands and a spacey sound.
However, I prefer analog for eeeez of use.
If you hae any smooth patches for me, use the address. PEETA
