video upload by AutomaticGainsay

"Here is the first part of what appears to be a lengthy series exploring the outcomes of the variation functions in the Casio CT405. Here is the first of what looks to be 12 videos on the chord variations. Is that right? I don't know. But anyhow, here we go."

TOMITA, CASIO & THE COSMO SYSTEM



This one was spotted and sent in via deejayiwan.

"TOMITA, CASIO & THE COSMO SYSTEM: Casio collaborated with Casio way back in the early 1980’s to create the COSMO synthesizer which was a huge rack of custom devices and computer system that ultimately became the CZ-101 Synthesizer and FZ-1 Sampler…the first 16bit sampler. From what understand the CZ-101 has in its code something like 64 different waveforms of which only 8 were selected for the CZ. I’ve seen someone post about this and was trying to make them accessible. Phase Distortion synthesis is the “real” FM (again as I’ve read somewhere) and Yamaha’s FM is different though I’m not sure what those differences are. The CZ started my career as a sound designer and remains one of my Top 3 instruments though I use the Virtual CZ soft synth by Oli Larkin. I have my entire collection of sounds from all the way back to 1986 and all the ones used on my “Lost Childhood” albums that were done with just two CZ-1’s run from a Roland MC-500 MIDI sequencer in real time through a Roland R880 digital reverb direct to DAT. A fantastic and classic synth! 🎛️ 👽"

The Amazing Casio CZ-5000: A Complete Review and Tutorial


video upload by Scott's Synth Stuff

"Weeks ago I acquired a 1980's flagship synth: the Casio CZ-5000. Used by famous electronic musicians the world over, the CZ-5000 is a powerhouse of phase distortion goodness. In this video I explain how its unique Phase Distortion synthesis engine works, then demonstrate how to operate all of the controls to create and modify sounds. Lastly, I give an overview of some of the kinds of sounds this synth can create."

Casio VZ-1 EXTERNAL PHASE mode


video upload by Collector Current

"The Casio VZ-1 lets you combine oscillators into complex sound generators using "EXTERNAL PHASE" mode. There are many possible combinations; in this video we only look at 4 oscillators and combinations of MIX and PHASE mode.

Casio VZ-1 phase mode envelope weirdness


video upload by Collector Current

The Casio VZ-1 is an odd and misunderstood synthesizer. In this video we look at how "PHASE" mode (wavefolding) changes the behavior of some of the envelopes. The story gets more complicated when you add "EXTERNAL PHASE" to the picture but I'll save that for a later video. If you want to read more you can also see the VZ-1 articles on my blog: https://blog.jacobvosmaer.nl/tags/vz-...

video upload by Ground Grown Circuits



via this Reverb listing

"Effect pedal made from an authentic Korg KLM-711 Chorus board, as seen in the Poly-800 and DW-6000.

I added a few modifications that allow you to adjust the Wet/Dry Mix, LFO rate and LFO Amount.

The LFO will go into audio rate allowing for ring mod sounds.

The Amount will change the LFO shape, once you pass 2 o clock on the knob it will clip the triangle shape making it more of a square wave.

The footswitch is true-bypass and will send the input signal to both outputs when the effect is deactivated.

Needs a 9-15V DC tip-positive power adapter, not included."

The Casio VZ-1 does not do FM - it does wave folding


video upload by Collector Current

"In this video we explore the "phase" output format of the Casio VZ-1. Some people think this is FM synthesis, like the DX7, but it's not. It really is wave folding.

The unique sound of the Casio CZ-101 Synthesizer


video upload by RetroSound

❤️ Support #RetroSound​ channel: https://retrosound.creator-spring.com

One of my favorite tracks by Yanni - The Rain Must Fall from the album Chameleon Days (1988)

Here covered with CASIO CZ-101 PD Synthesizer (1985)
I use self-programmed sounds and presets

This cover song series contains my own recreations of my favourite songs from the last 50 years. The original music from which I take inspiration belong to their respective owners. I recreate tracks only for personal passion and to pay homage to these tracks.
My intention is not to create covers that sound exactly like the original (if you want to hear identical sounds, please listen the original). It's more of an inspiration with my sounds from the old synthesizers from the past and of course the great appreciation for the original performers and producers."
