This modification to the wonderful Casio RZ-1 adds sixteen sound banks of drum hits to the RZ-1 factory presets.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Kit Contents<\/h3>\r\n

The mod kit has three circuit boards. One board expands the sound library from the original stick RZ-1 hits to sixteen sets of vintage drum hits tuned to work with the RZ-1. The second board contains three sets of firmware i.e stock, 1.96u and 2.0u and has removable jumpers to allow you to pick your favourite version. The third board has the bank selection switch and MIDI activity LED.\u00a0 The boards come with a cable to hook them up and all parts needed to complete the job.<\/p>\r\n

Installation<\/h3>\r\n

Installation only takes an hour or so and is quite easy to do.\u00a0 The installation starts with de-soldering the old ROMs and replacing them with sockets into which the new boards plug in. Holes are made in the top for a bank selector knob an MIDI led. Finally you plug the ribbon cable into the boards and solder two wires to the MIDI in circuit.<\/p>\r\n

Customizing<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The sound ROMS uses flash memory and can be reprogrammed. As a result you can customize the sounds to your own needs. To do this requires a flash programmer such as the TL866, and the generation of files for the hits. Not to worry, it’s all explained in the instructions and a script for helping you do it is included.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

So, how do you use it? It’s Easy! To change banks it just a matter of turning the knob, or you can send MIDI commands.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
