"Made in 1985, this is a Casio CZ-1000. It was Casio's answer to the Yamaha DX series synths. This is the full-sized 49-key version of a Casio CZ-101. It has the same phase distortion synthesis engine the CZ-101 does. This one's in better-than-average condition with only minimal wear. All of the keys and buttons work. The membranes over the switches are all intact. (This is unusual for a 25-year-old synth.) All 32 of the internal presets work. I'm including a CD-ROM disk that contains the manual and additional patches. The patches can be loaded into it from your computer via a MIDI cable. This is an excellent lead synth for dance or techno music.
