Casio CZ-101 vintage synth
February 25, 2006
Retrothing has an interesting article about the Casio CZ-101 which was Casio’s debut into the world of ‘professional’ synthesis.
It featured 4 octaves of mini keys (argh), 8 note polyphony, 8 oscillators, 4 parts, MIDI, and even clips for a guitar strap for those super-cool(?) synth solos at front of stage!
It just shows that you can’t dismiss old synths - they still have their fans and their uses, and in fact now sell on eBay for almost double their original US$109 price tag.
