    Casio should release a new CZ with rotary controllers for the settings, dedicated waveform select, a nice big display with a scope view, and self illuminated controls throughout. They could throw in a few more effects, like overdrive, phase shift, reverb and delay, maybe even some extra waveforms. Some more LFOs wouldn’t hurt either. If they don’t, Behringer might.

    IIRC, my CZ-3000 didn’t send note off either, but my CZ-1 does. The 3000 died years ago and and at the time it seemed way more expensive to get fixed, and I had the CZ-1 anyway, so threw it out. Seems a shame in retrospect, but the CZ-1 soldiers on … chorus slider is not in good shape though.

    I mean, technically the korg monotron kicked off the cheap small analog synth revolution with stuff like the monotron. they basically pioneered the idea of small and cheap and proved to the world analog could be done like that, they then put that engine into the monotribe which came out before the minibrute, arturia took it a step further and made it more like a proper actual synth instrument for people in bands or musicians to play with loads of potential for patching. but the concept was done and the new analog revolution was kick started by korg. the brute is an amazing synth, but I wish they used different physical knobs, they often had a problem with getting really grimey and sticky. thanks for including the information about yves usson and his amazing work, great bit of history there.
