I'm thinking about purchasing the CZ1000. The only concern
I have is about it's ability to produce a good synthesized
bass. I am a part time musician and currently use a Yamaha
SK30 which has a splitable keyboard and use the solo
synth for bass. Can I hope to get at least that quality
bass. I have tried the CZ1000 SYNTH BASS preset and found it
interesting but not a very fat sound.
Has anyone tried the MidiBass? Is it possible to produce
comparable bass sounds on the CZ.
I am impressed with all of its other capabilities.
Am I kidding myself or is the CZ's ability to synthesize sounds
superior to my Yamaha SK30. How does it stack up to the AX80
or the DW8000.
Also, must I purchase a Roland MPU401 in order to take 
advantage of the patch programs
available for the IBM PC. Is there a less expensive
MIDI interface available for downloading patches. Has anyone
had any experience with the available patch software 
for the CZ.
