the big win on the cz101 is that its cheap. otherwise it's not particularly impressive for any kind of music. (unless you want that genuine cheesy house organ sound). i use it as a backup "swirly noise" box. it has no real-time control, and no velocity response. you can put it in 4xMono mode in which it responds to 4 different programs (monophonically) on 4 consecutively numbered midi channels. it's not particularly clean or quiet. if you can find one for us$100 or less, it may be worth checking out. -- Name: Jon Email: jsd@cyborganic.com Web: http://www.cyborganic.com/bass-kittens/
