![]() The CZ-101 had four-voice polyphony, or you could use it as a four-part multitimbral synth. ![]() ![]() In other words, the DCW’s envelope determines the amount of modulation, and acts like a filter. Instead, it used an 8-stage envelope section to change the DCW (digitally controlled waveform) over time. One thing CZ synths didn’t have was a filter. They also included noise and ring modulation. It basically worked by distorting the phase angle of a sine (or cosine) wave to make other waveforms. With the CZ synths, they used a synthesis called Phase Distortion (PD). These synths used a method of synthesis similar to what Yamaha’s DX line of synths were using, which was Frequency Modulation, or FM for short. Other models in the CZ line of synths included the CZ-1, CZ-1000, CZ-3000, and CZ-5000. I really liked it as it was relatively easy to use, didn’t take up tons of room, and it had a nice sound. What I had decided to buy that day was an affordable, compact, great sounding synthesizer that fit my needs. ![]() Our reviewer checks out VirtualCZ, and it puts a new spin on the classic sounds from yesterday.īack in the late 1980’s, I remember getting my first synthesizer to use with my Atari ST computer. The Casio CZ line of synthesizers had a great sound in the 1980s.
