Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

Yea it's a good point.  I also have CZ Touch and that does offer a 
pretty good solution and I may just end up going that route.  I just 
like the idea of having all of the patches in there on the fly.. for 
creative / inspirational stuff.. i just like having them all live and 
ready..  but yea probably not worth investing in that kind of backup.. i 
just imagine how nice it would be to have patches be safe for 5+ off a 
2032..


Thanks
Caleb
