CASIO CZ-1000 HQ SOUND DEMO
YouTube via AnalogAudio1
" The Casio CZ-1000 is a digital synthesizer with the "phase distortion" synthesis. It came out 1985 and it was a lowcost synthesizer with MIDI multimode. The idea was, to develop a digital synth with modern digital sounds, which is easy to program like an analog synth. Indeed, it uses similar terminology (DCO, DCW, DCA) - if you understand the subtractive synthesis, the CZ will be easy to understand. However, the DCW is not a real filter - it is the unit, which distorts the phase. Resonance is not available, but you can produce similar sounds with special waveforms on the DCO.
The CZ-1000 looks like something between Yamaha DX7 and Korg Poly-800. Like the Korg Poly-800, it can run on batteries. The CZ-101 is virtually the same, it just has small keys.
Vince Clarke used to have one in the eighties."
