"This is in superb condition and full working order. Has a few light marks but no cracks, breaks or repairs. Some scuffs to the underside as shown in pics. Serviced professionally and my actual item featured in Electronic Sound Magazine a couple of years ago."
"This is the first song with the CZ-1. It's a 16 voice Phase Distortion synthesizer from the mid 80s. The only Casio Synth from the CZ series that featured velocity and aftertouch sensitivity.
I used for the recording the following FX chain:
CZ-1 - Pigtronix Quantum - Digitech Obscura - Pigtronix Echolution 2 Deluxe - GFI System Specular Reverb 2. Depending on the recorded track some FX are deactivated
The signal went through a Presonus StudioLive 16.0.2 into the PC via USB for recording. To create the complete song I recorded consecutively several stereo tracks. The final song was then mastered with a bit EQ and compression on some tracks and some limiting on the master track."
"Quick video to show how sounds a Prophet 600 when it's heating.
Mine doesn't have the Gligli mod so it goes out of tune easily.
Needs about 30 minutes for being 100% in tune!"
"I did this video very quickly but anyway even without more precise comparison you can feel how close the TAL emulation is from the original machine.
What I think about this:
- Attack/Decay bites more on original Juno, emulation loses dynamics with Chorus enabled
- Chorus is finner on original unit, and there's a true vibrato in mode 1+2
- Filter is a bit more instable on the Juno, yet the emulation is really good and accurate
- Emulation's parameters go further than original's: longer decay, higher cutoff, longer Pulse Width
- Factory presets on TAL's sound different because of parameters range.
Overall a fantastic emulation for a portion of the original's price
In an A/B comparison, TAL's has less presence and it's a bit cleanner
But in a mix there would be no way to differenciate an emulation from the original unit."

"Shana Tova! We present shofar, the traditional horn played on Rosh Hashana. We demonstrate the traditional shofar blasts: the Tekiah, Shevarim, and T'ruah. We then process them through several of our synthesizer modules for a unique (and unorthodox) experience. Modules used include the Strymon Magneto, Qubit Prism, and Buchla Red Panel 158 oscillator.
We wish you all a joyous and sweet new year, and please let us know if you have any thoughts or comments on this video.
