Re: Casio CZ Series - Sound Synthesis Handbook

Hey FO,

I'm not sure this link will work but check out Joerg's Casiologie site. 
There is a Vintage CZ forum where he has a lot posted. The CZ1000 and 
CZ5000 "Sound Synthesis" versions are here.

http://www.jz-server.de/forum3/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewforum.php?22

He has a wealth of information on his site. Also I have added to this 
groups files section 8 banks of CZ-1 patches that I made from taking 
the best CZ5000 patches from over 2,500 patches I found all over the 
web. I added velocity to the DCO, DCW, and DCA envelopes to make these 
sounds morph, crossfade, wah, and a few other tricks. Plus a few of 
these patches are of my own creation. I really like the CZ-1 for it's 
expressiveness and the 8 stage envelopes. The envelopes can't loop but 
hey that's the way they designed it. 

Let me know if you want to discuss any of your programmimg adventures 
or if you have any patches you would like to share.
