![]() That’s the concept at the heart of phase distortion synthesis and CZ V’s sound.Įach DCO in CZ V lets you select from the 8 original waveforms or draw your own. By changing the linearity of how a simple waveform plays, like speeding up the start of the cycle, it’s no longer a simple waveform. Phase distortion's uniqueness comes into play by altering the time domain of the carrier wave, yielding a different oscillator wave shape entirely. Phase distortion, like FM, involves one oscillator modulating another. It’s the direct ancestor of the CZ-101, whose mini keys and $499 price tag put real synthesis in the hands of a new generation of musicians. Fortunately, they had a platform to build on - a high-end synth workstation called Cosmo. ![]() In the early ’80s, Casio wasn’t about to sit still while the DX7 took over the world. CZ V puts phase distortion back on the map with the ultimate version of this groundbreaking synthesis technology. This put Casio® on the map as a maker of serious professional synthesizers. The CZ-101 defined a whole new way of creating the sounds keyboardists and producers wanted. Wringing a ton of sonic range out of just a handful of parameters, CZ V is one of the quickest paths from a sound in your head to sound in your speakers.ĪRTURIA amped up the CZ with up to 32 voices of polyphony, four FX slots, eight envelopes, and everything but a flux capacitor. The CZ series is used on all kinds of songs because it produced so many sounds so well. CZ V gives you more of what the CZ was loved for in every way – and more.ĪRTURIA's DSP crew reverse-engineered the core code of the CZ, then added features to make phase distortion even more compelling today. It became a sonic staple for artists including Eurythmics, Salt-N-Pepa, and Vince Clarke (Depeche Mode, Yaz, Erasure), who famously stacked up eight CZ-101 synths and a sequencer. Casio’s phase distortion synthesis was a relative of FM but simpler to use, achieving patches that sounded both ‘digital’ and ‘analog’ with equal ease.
