Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

Hello Jérôme:

 

I am not sure to have understood your question, but I will try to explain it according to the reference manual (pag.17)

As you say, there are 2 DCO (DCO1 and DCO2), that can be adjusted with their envelopes (as far as you select line 1+2)

For each DCO, you can set the waveform. And here is where you can choose between 8 SIMPLE waveforms, let`s say (1:1, 2:0), or also a COMBINATION of 2 waveforms (1:2, 2:5) for instance.

The wave is combined in a new wave that can sound very different of the original ones.

So you have really more than the basic 8 waveforms: you have 33 combinations. It should be 8X8=64, but (1:1, 2:1) is equivalent to (1:1, 2:0), and the last 3 types of resonant waves cannot be combined between them.

I insist on taking a look at pag.17 of the manual, where DCO and waveforms are explained.

 

Au revoir.

Asunto: [CZsynth] DCO settings in "The Easy CZ Book"

 

  Hi all,

I recently acquired a CZ-1 and I was just going through The Easy CZ Book 
that was posted in the group files section. This book is indeed easy to 
follow but there is still a detail that keeping me puzzled on the patch 
sheets...

I don't understand why there is 4 DCO wave combinations for each patch 
where it's only possible to enter 2 DCO wave combinations by tone. It 
indicates the rate and level of the 8 envelope points for both DCO, DCW 
and DCA, but it also indicates 4 DCO wave combinations on the right side 
as for instance on "Sound 2 Violin 1":

WAVE
1:1
2:0

and then for the second oscillator:

WAVE
1:2
2:5

Since there is only 2 wave forms by DCO, how are we suppose to set those 
4 oscillators?

I guess I must be missing a something dumb but this is now really 
leaving me scratching my head...

Cheers & have a nice one,
