If what I read is true and Casio has a couple of the top Technics guys onboard, maybe just maybe they WILL get serious, add some of the features that Uncle Dave mentions, improve some of the sounds / styles, and really become a contender. The MZ is already close and some of the synth sounds are very cool and very editable. Still, they are going to have to start following up and refining their boards after they are released. Frank used a good term on a different thread. Casio virtually orphaned the MZ after releasing it, which makes me wonder if new and improved models may never come from them. It almost seems as though they treated the MZ as a failed experiment for the company and already moved on.
