Hi everyone, I'm new to this site. I to am interested in the Cz1 and 
101 sound waveform gif. I've actually got 2 cz1 synths and one of 
them is a lot brighter than the other even with the same sounds 
loaded. My mate has got a cz1000 and it sounds different again. I 
think it has to do with the tiny variations of components in the 
output boards. The brighter of the two has less bass end than the 
other and can sound quite sharp with say GLOCKENSPIEL. I've tinkered 
with it by varying the tone by changing the variable resistors by 
tiny amounts. Not recommended though cos these synths are to 
precious. 

Keith.
