Casio RZ-1 Digital Sampling Rhythm Composer / Drum Machine

The Casio RZ-1 is a classic 1986 digital sampling rhythm composer featuring 12 PCM drum sounds, a 4-pad user sampling engine, and an onboard sequencer.

I purchased this one a few years ago, used it several times on my last album, it's pretty cool.
Selling it now to free up space here at Mystic Frequencies.
