"OK - so this synth is a beast! It has a very unique sound and the 16bit sampler is amazing and clean and lovely, but the real star of the show here is a full Additive Synth Engine that will let you color and play with and change the samples a ton. True additive synths are tough too come by and this one has 48 harmonic steps to play with. PLUS! it has amazing 8 stage filters and envelopes that can add a ton of warmth. This was a totally overlooked machine in its day (1987) as it was trounced handily by the Emulator which was only a 12bit machine. The FZ-1 also has 8 Voice Polyphony and 8 audio outs! And way ahead of its time, it also had graphic wave drawing and editing that was really only available on $10,000 Synclaviers and Fairlights.I am not gonna lie, this synth/sampler takes some work because there are so many options and parameters at your disposal, but once you get a handle on it you can get so much out of this. The LED screen and menus are a bit of a pain, but nothing like the DX7. Casio has them laid out easily and intuitively, and I never really felt like I was menu diving and going nuts."
