![[Home Page]](home.gif)
Casio, who entered the music business more than twenty years ago
with tiny toy- keyboards, have made a definite promotion into the professional 
market
two years ago by introducing their first instrument with an on-board disk-drive
supporting SMF- playback. At Musikmesse Frankfurt Casio presents the MZ-2000,
another milestone on the company`s way of growing slowly into the professional
area.
The MZ-2000 features 64 voices polyphony, 61 dynamic keys with after-touch
and is equipped with a disk drive able to playback SMFs 0/1. 562 sounds,
including 226 GS sounds, 12 drum-kits, drawbar controllable organ sounds
and synthesizer controls like LFO and filters make the new Casio a versatile
sounding instrument. A built-in sequencer saves about 40.000 events. The
accompaniment with eight tracks offers 120 rhythms including backing patterns,
each offering four variations and twelve fill-ins. Roland and Technics
styles can be converted and stored.
The MZ-2000 features a mic input that can be assigend to internal effects
and is ready to be connected to Mac or IBM computers.
