"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! 🎛️ 👽"
