Casio CZ5000 demo test

Qualitywise the CZ5K still holds up very well these days! You gotta contact HollowSun and arrange so the he can sample your CZ5K to preserve the unique sounds for future generations.

Alguém tem interesse em um CZ5000 SP??????

[Syntox]

I dig it. This keyboard has it's OWN thing going on, and you gotta respect that.

With respect to the "thin" sound that sephardimm refers to, Casio clearly wasn't going for a classic fat analog sound. Many others in this price range already had that very well nailed down, but there wasn't an affordable digital synth that could create similar sounds to the very popular DX-7. If you didn't have $2500 laying around for the Yamaha, the CZ-5000 approximated similar sound for about $1000.

I.e., it was unique and good for what it was: The cheaper alternative to the DX-7.

I heard a lot of synths analog and digital, but this is the first which iI comletely dislike. sounds thin to me...

[colorform2113]

@sephardimm have you heard it in person or played one? i own a CZ5K and a MicroMoog and i have to say the cz CAN sound thin, if you program it that way. but it can also sound very big and angry

It seem like most CZ-series Casios have the volume and chorus sliders yanked out. How do the lose them? Do they smash them around or something?

[minkmoe]

@dvamateur

i own a cz5000 and "lost" the knobs of the sliders because the fall off very easy. so its likely to lose them when you're not thinking of it and have your cz moved. best thing ist to fix them before you find yourself searching for the knobs in dark places...

[rondroyd]

[Death2FalseElectro]

My CZ-5K is one of the least expensive synths I have, but the most fun to play and some of the coolest sounds!

[ResidentHooligan]

Nice work.

[mattrg320]

[vanopnt]

Wow you went through a wide spectrum. Thanks for sharing, very nice demo

[sauermusicDE]

The Brass Patch at 1.31 is one of the best sounds of the CZ-series.

[Artstar]
