I apologize about my earlier posting saying the the CZ3000 had some kind of
build in reverb capability.  I could have sworn that's what the salesman
told me (I should have taken a closer look at the topside).

I recently went back to (a different) local synth shop to take a look at
some multi-timbral synths.  I want some broader capabilities in real time.
I went through every preset on the CZ3000, and although I liked what I
heard, it sounded pretty "synth".  While there I took a listen at the TX-7.
I was impressed, for some objective and some prejuidiced reasons.  I have
a DX-7, and (apparently) my programming knowledge would not require
amendment.  Also the fact that I am dealing with a well established and
received product and company (especially one which provides technical
documentation, as I have notice of on the net).

The two local stores I have been to have both made comment that the CZ
gets kind of weak when using 16 voices (not that my music is that busy
anyway).  Is this true?  Both places also said "No Problem" with the TX-7.
Also, I was given a five dollar price difference between the two (the TX-7
was the cheaper).  I like the idea of basically having 16 DX-7's at my
beckon call, but I would like to hear from any net.people with comments
or corrections to my perceptions.  I have seen a little about the TX-7 on
the net, so I know you are out there.  Recently I got some MIDI documentation
from Yahmaha, and it seems I remember it was written for the TX-7 and a
hand scrawled note said "Not All Parameters Will Apply to the DX-7".  Now
that I really want to look, I can't find the document in my files.

Any input would be severly appreciated.  I hate indecision.  By the way,
I think I posted an incorrect net address earlier and the proper address
is gatech!itcatl!parris.  Ignore any system info associated with this
posting;  our system is having some comm problems and I am using a 
colleague's Tech account (but I am a student there, so I guess that makes
it moral).  Thanks to all in advance.
