Nice! I totally agree that Casio made some solid stuff back then. The RZ-1 wasn't exactly commonplace in dreampop or shoegaze music but it's nice at least to noodle around with concept stuff or if you're in a tight space with no real studio or immediate access to a drummer. Playing around with it especially within a MAME context is hella neat and it just makes me miss those days even more.
