CZ-5000 Edit

The CZ-5000 synthesizer was almost identical to the CZ-3000, but had a built in 8 track sequencer. In most other regards, it was virtually identical to the other CZ series synthesizers.

There’s some rust on the back looks good on the front ” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“If you are looking at this you probably already know more about it than me; I’m only a guitarist

I’m selling this on behalf of the family of a friend who passed away earlier this year. I don’t know much about the programming of it etc but have fired it up in the studio and tested that it is working properly (the first patch I played did a great Van Halen Jump impression which took me right back to 1984!!!).

It is in decent condition for a 1980’s vintage synth that has been well used. There are the usual scuffs etc. The knob is missing from the Chorus slider and the batter cover is missing as can be seen in the photos but everything appears to be functioning properly.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“Used but working as far as I can tell. I was given this as a gift after expressing the desire to learn to play and instrument. I’ve spent more time trying to get all those pesky buttons set just right to produce a pleasing sound rather than learning to actually play something. So it’s time to find it a new home!

Due to the size and the lack of original packaging it is being offered for local pickup only.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

” Fully functional 80’s Casio CZ-5000 Phase Distortion Synthesizer Fully Functional in good condition. Very few scratches, scuffs, marks but some signs of use consistent with age. ” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“This keyboard has been in storage for many years and does have some issues but it does work, despite it being sold for parts not working. I’ll go into the issues now:

The keyboard powers up and is playable. The preset buttons work as do the volume and chorus faders as does the pitch bend and modulation wheels. I was also able to edit the sounds using the various other buttons but was unable to use the sequencer so this may be not be functioning properly. I didn’t try every single button on the keyboard but everyone I did try worked, other than above and also the data/save load cartridge buttons. I don’t know what they are for.

The L/R outputs work but are a bit temperamental and needed a wiggle to get a clean signal. The signal was then fine.

The keyboard itself has four lower keys that don’t work: C SHARP, D SHARP, F SHARP and G SHARP.

Some of the keys are only occasionally a bit squeaky when they are pressed, probably from being in storage for so long. This does not effect the output signal though.

There is some rust on the back of the unit (see photo). The battery compartment looks to be in pretty good condition although there is some oxidisation.

The unit comes with a power adapter and a wooden hardcase.

So, this will take a bit of attention to get working properly but it is usable and ultimately sounds wonderful.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“Other than a few scratches (mostly underneath the keyboard), this unit is in good condition. The battery compartment cover (underneath the keyboard) and the plastic caps that go on the volume and stereo chorus sliders are missing, but the sliders themselves, as well as the rest of the synth, are fully functional.

I’m also going to be selling an expansion cartridge in a separate auction that gives you additional memory to store user programmed patches. This is a very rare item!” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“The CZ-5000 is in excellent condition as you can see in the photos. It is from a non smoking enviorment. Tested with headphones. ” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“The keyboard is in excellent condition given its age–the batteries for the sequencer probably need to be replaced, and the stereo chorus knob is missing, though the level is easily adjustable sans knob.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

” For sale is a Casio cz-5000. It comes with the power cord only. As far as I can tell it is fully functional and sounds as it should. All keys sound. All presets work. The volume and chorus sliders work. The buttons work. The wheels work. However, I didn’t go deep into the sequencer or synthesis. The chorus is a little noisey when all the way up. ” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“Good condition, just missing the battery cover and the chorus knob…doesn’t effect performance whatsoever, one thing I will say is that the keys could do with a little lubrication and I will also say that I’ve played this instrument for numerous years and the fact that the keys squeak every now and again doesn’t bother me. Comes with kettle lead.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“Hello, you are looking at a Casio CZ-5000 keyboard. This is in nice shape, all keys and buttons/sliders are working. Missing the chorus and volume slider caps but both are still adjustable and work fine. The keyboard seems to function properly except after some time (sometimes right away, sometimes after a few minutes, sometimes not at all) the sound becomes giltchy/distorted in ways that are not expected or normal. It does continue to operate and play but this will need some kind of repair or attention. For those of you handy at repair this is a good deal, also for those of you looking for synths that are glitchy and making strange or unexpected noises then this should fit the bill too :” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“Casio CZ-5000
Classic Phase Distortion Synth with 8-track sequencer

Condition:

– All sliders, buttons, and mod-wheels work.

– MIDI tested and working.

– The left channel on the headphone output is intermittent.

– Mod On/Off Button above Mod-wheel is a little hard to engage, though it does consistantly work.

– Volume and Chorus sliders are a little dirty sounding when moving.

– Outputs do have some hiss to them, though no worse than other synths of this period I’ve used.

– This unit had batteries left inside and they leaked. The inside of the unit has been cleaned to remove as much of the corrosion as possible, but the synth cannot be powered by batteries anymore, only the IEC Power cable. The battery leakage did not damage any circuit boards.

– Battery cover is missing.

– Overall, this unit does show wear to the outer case, see pictures for more details.

– I don’t have a cartridge to test that functionality.

– Sustain and Foot Volume have not been tested.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“Very nice cond. and works as its supposed to. New alkaline battries for internal memory.

Comes with 2 VERY RARE and HARD TO FIND “EZ CZ” Multi-Bank Memory Cartridges full of sounds!! ($100 value!)

I also have the factory box in very good condition.

Just a note: There are some light impressions of some kind on the face (finish) of the CZ-5000. They didn’t show up well in the photos and in
some lighting conditions can’t even be seen, other conditions are more noticeable. This has no affect at all on performance.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“Classic Casio flagship digital synthesizer of the mid-’80s. It was purchased used but has been in my smoke-free, climate-controlled studio environment for over twenty years. It appears to work perfectly in every way that I have the expertise to test it. That includes all keys work, built-in pre-programmed sounds, programming sounds, loading and storing sounds on an external RAM card, etc. I never really learned to use the sequencer function, but messed around with it enough to believe that it is working correctly. The only defect besides many years of normal finger scuffing and scratches is a small chip in the lower front of one of the high keys. The slider controls for volume are just pegs, so there were probably knobs on them when it was new. They work just fine the way they are. ” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“This keyboard suffered a little shipping damage. It still works, but 3 keys are broken. The C# and upper B&C are broken. The back right hand corner is broken. Due to the condition of this keyboard, I’m selling it AS IS. Great for parts or if you want to fix it up, I’m sure there are replacement keys available.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“Works great, sounds are totally awesome vintage 80’s. made in Japan, high quality and VERY heavy, so shipping is gonna reflect that. This is a piece of history and becoming QUITE collectable, prices only rise on these!” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“This is the Casio CZ-5000, competing with the CZ-1 as top of the line Casio Phase Distortion Synthesizer. A perfect classic vintage digital synth with quirky sequencer.
I have serviced it, the following is what needed to be done:

Fixed a broken key.
Checked all capacitors and only one needed replacing.
Fixed display back into place.
Re aligned socket PCB.
Re calibrated DAC.
All other service points check out 100% OK.
Slider cap missing from chorus but still operates crackle free.

So what you have here is an excellent example of this synth. The sequencer is fun to use, very easy to set up groovy/ hypnotic loops with the step programmer.
Memory backup batteries included.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“This keyboard looks and sounds great! it has that old school fat analog sounds you love! All keys are in good working condition, two of the keys (C2 and G2) were broken and repaired (please see pics) with an overlay over the broken keys and it plays fine but you might want to replace the 2 keys at some point.

All buttons and wheels are present except for the volume and stereo chorus knobs which are missing,

most buttons are working but they can be somewhat stubborn when you press them but a little added pressure usually will get the job done so you might want to get the contacts cleaned at some point.

I pretty much could access each section except for the sequencer section and I wonder if it’s because you might need to have a memory storage device in place to activate it but I’m honestly not sure. The battery door cover is missing and cosmetically the unit does have some scuffs and scratches that one would expect over time for a unit it’s age but overall it looks great! The LCD, Mod and pitch wheels work and the unit sounds FANTASTIC! This auction includes the power cord, I’ve stated all known issues to the best of my ability, still with that said I think it’s a great keyboard and here’s your chance to get it at a great price! with a little TLC you’ll have yourself a true classic! This keyboard is being sold “AS IS”” Auction ended. Click here to browse on eBay.

” I am selling my vintage CASIO CZ-5000 synthesizer. I am the 2nd owner, having obtained it in the early 90’s from a good friend. It’s in perfect working condition. All the fader knobs are intact. This is the largest and arguably best synth CASIO ever produced, with 16 voices, 8 oscillators, 61 keys, MIDI support, and a built-in sequencer. It’s been used by the Orb, Jean-Michel Jarre and Ariel Pink on his early home-recorded output. The CZ-5000 has an expanded waveform memory for even more sounds and thicker sounds. It’s like having two stacked CZ-1000 synths all at once! Casio’s CZ series of phase-distortion digital synths make for a unique sound. After all, there are 8-stage envelopes and 2 oscillators per voice for a thicker tone. Their sound is similar to the Yamaha DX synths but is much easier to program. The CZ-5000 may be at the pinnacle of Casio’s synthesizer line.
It hasn’t been on the road at all. Never been dropped or spilled upon. Sat in my home studio for years. ” Auction ended. Click here to browse on eBay.
