![]() Presets, patch and bank storage, and an arpeggiator. Vince Clarke used to have one in the eighties.CZPL Patch Library for Casio CZ Synthesizers CZ Patch Library The essential companion for the Casio CZ series. In the video I played the CZ-1000 with a Lexicon MPX 500 reverb. The timing of the sound engine is not the best – a three notes chord causes a significant delay between notes (you can hear it in the movie). Analog sounds are better on the competitor Korg Poly-800. But other analog-style sounds are a bit static and boring to my ears, I would recommend the Casio for digital sounds – not for the analog sounds. Some “filter sweep” sounds are interesting (the bass in the movie). The Casio can produce digital and analog-style sounds. Like the original DX7, the display is not backlit. It has portamento, monophonic / polyphonic modes and cartridge storage. There are 8 waveforms, two of them can be used at once. Resonance is not available, but you can produce similar sounds with special DCO waveforms. Instead of real filters, you have the DCW – this is the unit, which distorts the phase of the DCO. Indeed, it uses similar terminology (DCO, DCW, DCA) – if you understand subtractive synthesis, the CZ will be also easy for you to understand. The CZ-101 is virtually the same, it just has small keys.Ĭasio had the idea to develop a digital synth with modern digital sounds, which is easy to program like an analog synth. Like the Korg Poly-800, it can run with batteries. The CZ-1000 looks like something between Yamaha DX7 and Korg Poly-800. It came out 1985 and it was one of the first low cost synthesizers with MIDI multimode. ![]() The Casio CZ-1000 is a digital synthesizer with the “phase distortion” synthesis. Casio CZ-1000 editor librarian at SoundQuest.If you’ve used the Casio CZ-1000 synthesizer, leave a comment with your thoughts! ![]() The CZ’s aren’t true classic synths, but they are reliable and offer a great vintage synth value. A two oscillator per voice option lets you get thicker sounds, but reduces the polyphony to 4 voices. It offers 8-voice polyphony and a 49-key full-size keyboard. The Casio CZ-1000 is a vintage (80s) Phase Distortion Synthesis synthesizer, that’s basically a CZ-101 with full-size keys. ![]()
