cz1000 dimensions

2002-12-11 by Andrew Bohachewsky

Hey all,

I'm hoping someone can help me with the dimensions of a Casio CZ1000. I 
know it's pretty small and flat, I'm hoping that it's flat enough for my 
latest crackpot idea... to set one up with a HamClone as a lower manual. My 
idea is to build a wood frame that the CZ1000 would set into and myOB32 
(hamclone) would sit on top of, whole thing on an Xstand. Connect MIDI out 
to trigger the "virtual lower manual" on the OB3 as well as setting up some 
cool bass patches on the CZ, send output of both through Hughes&Kettner 
Rotosphere.

I've already done this with the OB3 and either a KorgDW8000 or Yamaha DX7, 
works pretty good (looks pretty wild too!) except those two boards being 
somewhat bigger than a CZ1000 required a deeper frame which results in a 
little more top to bottom "manual" separation than would be optimal. I'm 
thinking that a CZ1000 would give me a much more streamlined look (I have a 
CZ101 but I think different size keys for left and right hands might be a 
bit problematic...)

Thanks,

Andy
