I am very glad to see this group is still active!
Thank you for your answer Alfons but I have already read the DCO section of the owner manual (page 24 in English version) and I understand perfectly we can combine 2 different wave forms for each DCO.
But in the Easy CZ Book that contains many patch sheets, 2 wave forms combinations are indicated by DCO. For instance, on the first patch "Parrot Voice" it indicates wave 1:4 and 2:0 for the first DCO and then 1:5 and 2:0 for the second DCO.
As you mentionned JPS, I also thought those patches were meant to be programmed in Tone Mix mode, but there is only envelope settings for both DCO, DCW and DCA, for a total of 6 envelopes. So it doesn't seem like those patches are meant to be programmed in Tone Mix mode.
You both confirmed what I already thought, but I still don't understand why the patch sheets in the book are indicating 4 wave forms by DCO for a total of 8 wave forms selection by tone. If someone already tried to program any Easy CZ book patches, I would also be curious to know why left pointing arrows like '<-' are also sometimes indicated in the envolopes settings. I guess the arrows are pointing on the Sustain points on the envelope but this is not totally clear to me...
Thanks & have a nice one,
Jérôme

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,
