Re: [CZsynth] Re: New to the list. Interested in "Balkan" CZ101 programming

2015-06-11 by Daniel Forró

Nothing against DX7 II, but Balkan and Turkish musicians really like CZ instruments, and they programmed very good sounds for Balkan music. There are many videos on YouTube with excellent players. I could only admire high level of their performance, as Balkan music is pretty fast, uses non common time signatures and their changes, and lot of ornamentation in the melody.

I have contacted some of them asking their sound sets in SysEx, one was willing to send me his old sets but couldn't find them, and few years ago sold his CZ, so he gave me mail to another Turkish musician who got it from him - but that one has a firm and sell such sound sets only...

CZ-101 is not the kind of Synthesizer you need for those type of sounds.
You will save time and headaches..
101 synthesis system haven´t microtunings options, no keyboard sensitivity, only fixed waveforms and limited detunig options.

Go for a Yamaha DX-7 II.
