CZ polyphony

2004-06-29 by steve_the_composer

addendum:  So far as I recall, the CZ-5000 (possibly the CZ-3000) 
synth engine can handle 16-note one-oscilator polyphony from the 
local keyboard, but only 8-note polyphony via midi.

they sound exactly the same. 1+1' is definitely a valid combination 
on all CZ synths. The difference between the 101/1000 and the 
3000/5000/1 is at a polyphony, not a voice structure level - the 101 
and 1000 have 4 two-line voices or 8 one-line voices and the other 
models have twice that. Each line is, however identical with two 
waveforms, three 8-stage envelopes, and octave, detune, vibrato, ring 
mod and noise mod shared between lines 1 and 2 or 1 and 1'.
