Demo of the CZ-1 synth chip with a Roli Rise

Published on May 23, 2016 Steve Bryson

"This is another demonstration of the CZ-1 phase distortion chip by dsp synthesizers (http://www.dspsynth.eu), this time with the chip in the module I built for it. Two of them, actually. At first we have just the CZ-1 module. The slide dimension (position of the finger on the 'key') controls the CZ phase distortion index. The waveforms coming out of the two CZ-1 modules are on the screen in the background. Then at 1:27 I add a Morphing Terrarium to balance the sound a bit and get a little musical. No filters are used in this patch."

Quick, goofy demo of the CZ-1 chip
