the cz, like most all synths these days IS a computer. and like all computers,
there are good programs and not so good programs. the preset patches on the
cz tend to fall into the latter class, though in bang-for-buck, they ain't
too bad. i have heard some excellent patches (with a correspondingly superb
performer) on the cz. it's just a matter of time and talent vs. $$$$ for
raw capability and good factory presets. very few pros use any sort of factory
presets to any great extent, even on hot setups like the dx7 or other
$2k+ systems. it's just a question of hacking...
