Australian CASIO MIDI Users Club Newsletter 3., CZ Patches & Rock School Courses

Additional scans in via Loscha, who brought us the MIDI PRIMER scans earlier today (higher res pics added there BTW).

The first 11 are the CASIO MIDI Users Club Newsletter 3 featuring the AZ-1 keytar on the cover. Below that are some CZ patches followed by Rock School course agendas. To be there at the time... It made me think of the New York School of Synthesis (if you haven't seen it, don't miss it).

Featured:

Australian Casio MIDI User Group Newsletter 3 (higher res PDF here)

Advertising about Australian (Melbourne) Synthesizer and guitar workshops

Handwritten patches from an attendee of one of those workshops.
