"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."
