Casio CZ Series Programming (CZ-101, CZ-1, CZ-1000, CZ-3000, CZ-5000) Part 1 of 4

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. -- SUBSCRIBE NOW For more Synth Tutorials and demos -- 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.
