"The FZ-10m is an eight voice, monotimbral digital synthesizer/sampler rack (3U) with flexible I/O (2 inputs, mix output, 8 individual outputs, RS232, MIDI). Waveforms can be sampled (16b, 9/18/36kHz, 64 sample points, 2MB memory), additive (48 harmonics), hand drawn (similar to Korg DSS-1) or preset (6 waves available). Sample editing includes 2 loops, reverse, mix, cross mix. Resonant, low pass digital filter and digital amplifier are controlled by 8 stage envelope generators, LFO and velocity/aftertouch. Patch memory contains 8 user locations (also has 3.5" DSHD disk drive).

The FZ-10M is the rack-module version of the FZ-1 with 2MB internal memory and XLR inputs and outputs. Dated by today's standards, the FZ-1 is a neat piece of Casio history to own but could never replace your current sampler. With the look and features you'd expect from a vintage pro-sampler, this Casio has been used by Underworld, Kronos Quartet, Dee Lite, 2 Live Crew, KMD, and Kitaro.

Features:

Aftertouch: Modifies LFO and EGs
Architecture Class: additive subtractive sampler
Audio IO: Headphones, 2 audio inputs 8 individual, TRS and XLR mix
Audio Source: The waveform can be a sample, an additive wave (48 harmonics), hand drawn (similar to Korg DSS-1), or a preset wave (i.e. random, pulse, saw, square, double sine, saw/pulse). Samples are 16 bit (9, 18, 36kHz) with up to 64 sample points. Sample editing includes 2 loops, reverse, mix, cross mix.
Communication Interface: MIDI In, Out, Thru, 25 pin RS232 communication port
Effects: None
EG: Dedicated, 8 stage EG's modify DCF and DCA
Expansion: 3.5" 2HD Disk drive
Filter: Resonant, low pass
Form Factor: 3U rack
Key Scaling: Switch samples and modify EGs rate/level
LFO: Modifies pitch, amplitude, or filter level. Waveforms include up saw, down saw, random, sine, square and triangle. LFO also features delay and key sync

DIY MIDI Keyboard Encoder

"This is going to be part of a project which will add a full size keyboard to a Korg Monotron, along with other modifications. It is a two octave keyboard (which was liberated from a well and truly ruined keyboard controller). The control circuitry was built by me on stripboard, and uses a pre-programmed PIC microcontroller bought from http://picsynth.000space.com/midi.html

Although it does not use velocity sensitive keys, the fixed velocity can be set using a potentiometer. I had to assemble a new circuit board which was attached under the keys, on which were 24 tactile switches. As a key is pressed, it closes the switch. The keys are arranged in a 2 * 12 matrix, although the PIC software supports up to a 4 * 12 matrix.

The sounds in the video are generated from some of the softsynths that come with GarageBand."
