>. Two more Casio Phase Distortion synthesisers have been added: the CZ-230S keyboard and the rare SZ-1 sequencer. The CZ-2230S lacked sound editing features but added a programmable drum machine (using PCM samples) and sequencer.

Posting this in case anyone wants to try out the Casio items.

A decent tutorial clip of how to use Cz - 230S sequencer’s control functions.

The clip shows how the three units work when connected.

A rare videoclip somewhat showing how a Casio Sz-1 sequencer is used.

All Casio MIDI recording setup circa 1986 - Casio SZ-1, CZ-1000, and RZ-1

SynthMania :
I think this is the first video on the Internet that features a Casio SZ-1 sequencer...? Anyway, here's a circa 1986 all Casio MIDI recording setup:
Casio SZ-1 = sequencer
Casio CZ-1000 = synth used in multitimbral mode
Casio RZ-1 = drum machine

Since MAME works with one item per time, it would mean having to run multiple instances of MAME.
Unsure if there is a current way of somehow linking all three to recognize each other similar to what is shown on YouTube videoclip. It is one of the few clips showing how the Casio Sz - 1 works.

Casio Cz - 5000 has its own built in sequencer module, but Cz - 5000 not yet emulated.
