The simulated filter resonance was not considered to sound much like real filter resonance, being a simple waveform at the filter cutoff value instead of a real filter resonating.Įach digital oscillator could have one or two waveforms. It had in total eight different waveforms: as well as the standard sawtooth, square, and pulse waveforms, it had a special double sine waveform, a half-sine waveform, and three waveforms with simulated filter resonance: resonant sawtooth, triangle, and trapezoidal waveforms. However, the CZ line used phase distortion to simulate an analog filter. Like many early digital synthesizers, its sound was regarded as "thinner" than the sound of an analog synthesizer.
#CASIO CZ 1000 PROFESSIONAL#
To make the CZ synthesizers inexpensive, so they would be affordable to amateur musicians (a much larger market than the professional musician market), Casio used digital synthesis without a filter instead of traditional analog subtractive synthesis with a filter. Yukihiro Takahashi was also on board during development he then toured with a CZ-1 in 1986. Text, review, special demos copyright polynominal.Eight basic waveforms on Casio CZ series.Īlso non-resonant waveforms 1~5 can cascade with other waveforms, and as a result, 33 waveforms (basic:8, cascade:25) are available.Ĭasio's phase distortion synthesis technique was championed by Casio engineer Mark Fukuda and evolved from the Cosmo Synth System that was custom-developed for legendary synthesist-composer Isao Tomita. Cz-1000 is not the most powerful of CZ family but sure interesting if you like digital sounds with something special" "PD synthesis is very harsh good for digital noise with distorted sounds. Your browser does not support the audio element. DCW PD: 8-stages + 8 levels + 8 sustain points that determines the level at which a sound is held as long as a key is pressed The LFOįeatures variable depth and 4 waveforms: sine, saw, square and ramp

line 1+1: stacks 2 times DCO1, 4 voices polyphony with detuneĪ single delayed amplitude modulator for DCA 1-2 at same time. Following this rule, it is possible to obtain 33 different combo.ĭCO lines can be set to 4 different path modes:ġ+2: DCO1 + DCO2, 4 voices polyphony with detune However there are some hardware restriction: it it not possible to mix 2 waves from group 2. The second wave follows the first oneįor each periodic cycle, thus creating even more waveforms.

The pattern of the distorted reading phase angle determines the DCO, while the amount of distortion of the reading phase angle (the depth) is determined by a dedicated EG DCW (digitally controlled wave) which transforms the harmonics from pure sine to full distorted wave (99 stepped values).Įach DCO is composed by 1 or 2 rich waves out of the 8 available. Process periodically distorts the phase angle of the oscillator altering the harmonic content, consequently creating new rich waveforms, 8 to be precise in the CZ series. Mixed with noise (no gain) or ringmodulated together with fixed depth.
#CASIO CZ 1000 PATCH#
A basic patch is composed by 1 or 2 DCO or LINES which are detunable digital sinewave-cosine oscillators processed by logic mathematical operations. System manages 8 digital voices based on PD synthesis.

On the left side there is a single pitch wheel. The main panel features a 16 x 2 lines display and 52 push buttons.
