"Up For Grabs Fully working rare vintage Hohner HS1 Sampling synthesizer with original manuals, made in 1987 identical to the Casio FZ1 except it’s a lighter colour these are very hard to find. Includes sample library of 33 floppy discs  This sampler features. Classic 16-bit sampling, ,analog filters, additive synth built in, draw your own waveforms!.

Surprisingly the FZ-1 also has a built-in synthesizer section. It uses digital synthesis employing both harmonic additive synthesis and waveform drawing. Basic waveforms available include sawtooth, square, pulse, double sine, saw/pulse, random waves and 48 harmonics.

Basic waveforms are available to put into the memory - these are basic analogue shapes that can be subject to filtering and amplitude modulation under envelope control - making the FZ sound like an old analogue machine even if you do not sample anything..."
