The Casio FZ1 is another underrated old sampler. It has the most

distinctive resonant filters I've ever heard. Really brutal and

distorted!
They are a strange analog/digital hybrid design, which leads many to

think they are digital filters. In fact they are a switched capacitor

design, as far I as can tell. On the schematic the filter/dca chips are

after the D/A converter/sample and holds.
