The CZ5000 is an exellent digital synth for its time. I'VE found the on board
seq very handy for liqid acid basslines and the resonant waveforms very fat
indeed. There are too many people out there reveiwing it with out first taking
on the mindframe that the CZ requires

I was one of the first people to get one of these (in Sweden anyway). A couple of months ago I finally sold it because I needed the space - and quite frankly the unit wasn't very usable any more either. But I still haven't been able to reproduce some of its very peculiar ringing wood-on-metal sounds. Beware of the strings though - except for some weird flutes, most sustained sounds can be EXTREMELY cheesy. Many noises are also so shrill that they will cut through any mix. The sequencer is really a joke - static poly assignment, no aftertouch, no pitch bend, no punch in/out, no quantisation, but mind you, this is an **old** machine and shouldn't be compared with the Trinity... If you're lucky, you should be able to pick one up for less than 100 UKP.

I really LOVE! my Casio Cz-5000, I bought it for a couple of months ago, for
only 1.000 Sekr (about 110£) with case and all cables to have a keyboard to my
computer, but now when I have listen to Casio own sounds and what you can
do with it, I very impressed, because the keyboard is very very old!
