> Anyone have any >ideas? Here are a few pics of some CZ synths I rescued. For the CZ-101, I just wanted a black box. Since all of the parameters can be accessed from a MIDI controller. Gone is the keyboard, switches, LED's. The keyboard circuit board was removed, as was the LED driver board and switch matrix board. All that is needed is the MIDI in/out, volume, line out, power switch, power jack, and LCD display. The only extra switches would be bank select for the 4 bank memory cartrige attached to the external cart port. A backup battery of 3 volts was added to the on-board battery terminals. All I need now is a suitable box to put it in. I may even mount a rechargeable gel-cell, if there is room, for the ultimate in portability. There are also some pics of a CZ-1 I am thinking about making a 2 space rack mount out of. Same things removed, keyboard, switches, LED's, and the swithh matrix, LED driver. The CZ-1 will require a few parameters to be accessed. I was thinking of using 12 position rotary switches in combination with a momentary pushbutton, to access the different menus. Both synths work great, but are not completed yet. A CZ-50.5 for the black box? (Half a 101) A CZ-10M for the racked CZ-1? http://www.geocities.com/orbitaldecay_99//czrack.html Terry (The Casio Kid)
