@@annother3350 was the Casio for shure. There was also a schematic to show all the combis, some of them were unuseful but the thing was really interesting! If memory helps me well there is also a video here on UA-cam....
Can U pleas describe how to do this from scratch without Using a preset? Tried an empty bank (D5) but cant get the results U do. Only get non-fading tones when trying to put everything to zero (except the "AMP" ). And yes... TOTALLY new at this. Want to learn how to totally build up complex sounds my self. ;)
Hi, and put "Line select" to "1" this way you will only hear the sound of just one line (or oscillator) In the Waveform (see my video) make sure you just have a waveform in "First" this means "Second" should read "0" I think it would be wise to watch through again and then get your synth set up and try and copy exactly what I have on screen. Remember- if you dont want the sound to fade or the filter to change you need to make sure you use the red "Initialize" button on the the "Envelope" settings have a "Sustain" selected (look at the synth screen ) or better still the manual !! Good Luck. Paddy C
Creating a preset with parameters set as they don't affect the sound. A little boring but possible.... Read the useful answer given to Tobias Johansson.
Hi, Some of the sounds are based on a Sine wave or "Double Sine" But the wave forms can be quite bright until you start using the Digital Waveform controls(works like a digital filter) the more you apply then the closer you get to a simpler Sine type of wave. To get the Dreamy effect. Use more than two waveforms. detune, use chorus ans long envelope settings so the sound evolves over time. Good Luck. To start from the beginning: use the initialize setting and the just concentrate on 1 sound(waveform) until you learn how it works. You can learn a lot by camparing what is happening in one of your favourite Presets. But Playing someones own Presets is NOT the way to learn Synthesis !! You need to spend time on it
Great demo! Do you have the bare cz-waveforms as uncompressed .wav ? It might be fun to play with though this never can recreate a real cz-synth at all. The resonant waveforms of the casio sound very unique.
Are these from a CZ101 ? They say that the sound of a CZ101 is better even than a CZ5000 or a CZ1, tho' this sounds incredible to me. Which is Your opinion? Thanks, also for the video.
All the Casio synths of CZ series are built upon NEC uPD933D LSI chip and equipped with the same sets of wave forms so in terms of sound generator they sound identical. The only difference between the models is that some of them such as CZ-1 and CZ-5000 have a BBD chorus circuitry built in whereas CZ-101 doesn't. Not long ago I've picked up a CZ-101 with broken keyboard decoder for just $50 and got it fixed for another $1.5. I also built a replica of Juno 6/106/MKS70 chorus effect so I can run my CZ-101 through it. But this is not the thing. I keep the CZ-101 just for the purpose of generating bass lines. That's where it really shines. Here are some examples where a bass line is created with CZ-101: ua-cam.com/video/dN8e9b2ON8s/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/nH69IkpL1-k/v-deo.html The presets are based upon wave form No.3
Thank you!
Very well presented, thank you very much.
Thanks for share! Wonderful synth :-)))
Brill, thanks a lot for this great demo Paddy! 😎🎹👍
Just something I have read somewhere on the web: there are some "hidden" waveforms combinations, but I can't remember where I found the new.
Was the the ESQ-!?

I just wish the noise had a volume or a dry/wet control. It'd be much more usefull.
I would love to see what those waveforms look like on an oscilloscope.
You can see what they look like here:

How can I use the pure waveforms without needing to use the presets?
Creating a preset with parameters set as they don't affect the sound. A little boring but possible.... Read the useful answer given to Tobias Johansson.
Simple- Its a programmable digital Synthesizer !
Hi, how to produce sine like sounds or dreamy pads with those waveforms?
Hi, Some of the sounds are based on a Sine wave or "Double Sine" But the wave forms can be quite bright until you start using the Digital Waveform controls(works like a digital filter) the more you apply then the closer you get to a simpler Sine type of wave.

@@paddyc3301 Thank you ! I will try it.
This is going to sound dumb but because it is digital, I don’t have to worry about tuning in anyway, correct?
Never a dumb question. Yes it's all digital and no tuning worries.
excelent!!! thanks

I have them somewhere, I'll dig them out for you. I got a lot of mileage using them in an Emu ESI-4000, lovely filters and detuning on that.
@@tomasmulcahymusic oh I would also really like a copy :)
@@PORRFNK I've added them to my long running blog about the CZ series.
You can buy them here www.kasploosh.com/cz/16293-cz_waves_for_your_mix/
just wanted to say thank u for saying see zed not see zee LOL

All those waveforms sound very similar....
They are exactly as the synth produced them: .ie before any modulation or filtering
