How to program the Casio CZ Series from the CZ-101 to the CZ-1

https://hyperfollow.com/scififunk/


A Step-by-step tutorial for programming the Casio CZ Series of Vintage Synthesizers. I explain what each Pot and Slider does on the synthesizer and how they interact to create sound.


This series demonstrates how the synth works at a high level, enough to get you making sounds. For an in-depth look at programming the Synth as a whole. Please refer to my advanced programming series.

00:00 Introduction demo playing with settings that can easily be tweaked live.
03:30 All the CZ synths are basically the same architecture. The CZ-1 is the best model as it is velocity-sensitive.
04:16 Articles from the period explaining how to program the CZ-101.
04:58 The essence of Phase Distortion programming.
05:30 All 8 basic waveforms that start sound on a Casio CZ-101 etc.
06:50 How the synth sound chain hangs together (DCO, DCW, DCA)
07:48 Line select. How the oscillators work together. This is an important setting.
08:20 Noise and Ring modulator, plus detune, examples of using them with line select.
Please watch the whole video to make sense of the chapters.


The Casio CZ-101 was my very first poly synth bought way back in 1985.


Please see my other tutorials where I explain similar principles on other Vintage synths like-
ROLAND SH-101
CASIO CZ-101/1000/3000/5000/1
PROTEUS 2000
ROLAND SVC-350 Vocoder


Also, drum machines like
EMU SP-12
ROLAND TR-808

Where I can't get access to the kit be sure I have it in Virtual format, and I'll explain all there. Synths that are just too expensive can be covered there like
ELKA SYNTHEX
SEQUENTIAL CIRCUITS PROPHET 5
OBERHIEM MATRIX 12
EMU EMULATOR 2
PPG WAVE
OSCAR
I've programmed them all.
