The CZ-101/1000 is capable of 4-part multitimbral operation
The CZ-101/1000 can stack patches at a cost of reduced polyphony
The CZ-101/1000 max polyphony is 8 voices but most patches are stacked so the result is 4 voice polyphony
Suggestions and corrections:
Memory: 16 factory presets and 16 user memory locations — correct, but can be expanded via RAM Catridges
Keyboard: 49 velocity-sensitive mini keys — neither the CZ-101/1000 have velocity sensing
Control: Modulation wheel and touch strip for expressive control — neither the CZ-101/1000 have mod wheel or touch strips. There is a pitch bend wheel.
Connectivity: MIDI In/Out/Thru for integration with other equipment — neither the CZ-101/1000 have MIDI thru
This line is incorrect: “Expressive Controls: Inclusion of a touch strip for expressive sound control”
THe CZ-101 offers a pitch bend wheel that is quantized — so pitch bend is at discrete steps instead of the typical smooth bend — but there is no “touch strip.”

Thank you very much Lewis, I made the modifications.
“Connectivity: MIDI In/Out/Thru, stereo audio outputs” — neither the CZ-101/1000 have stereo outputs
