Does anyone know if the CZ1000 can receive velocity sensitive messages. I know that the inherent keyboard is NOT touch-sensiive, but I was wondering if I would have TS control using an external keyboard.

Nope...only the CZ1 is capable of this.

It will respond to Control Change #7, (Volume) so that might work if you're trying to sequence in some dynamics.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to get a manual and MIDI implementation chart for a CZ1000 please? Many thanks Got mine at the weekend and am having fun already.

There WAS a PDF copy of the CZ101 manual in the files section at yahoogroups... wasn't there? It's gone now! The MIDI implementiona chart is in there, and it's the same as the CZ1000.

While looking for the CZ MIDI Guidebook PDF, I discovered I have a CZ- 3000 PDF. Also, I have something called CZ101_manual-small.pdf. I'd upload them to Files, but there is only 180K of space left. I tried doing an internet search, but didn't find them yet. I searched CZ 101 pdf. Give it a try. Oh yeah, looks like lotsa folks selling manuals. BTW: It looks like someone in UK created an easy to read version of the Casio CZ Guidebook. It looks like the material is from the manual, with original notes in html format. http://www.bluebear.org.uk/studio/cz101/cz101midi.html It might be easier than using the PDF. Hope this helps. --- In CZsynth@yahoogroups.com, "Lin Sprague" <lsprague@c...> wrote:

Hi. I'm new to this group. I thought I'd share a story about my CZ1000. I bought it in 1985. I had a couple keyboards before that though. But the CZ was the first that had full size keys and I used it the most. It's a pretty amazing synth, the presets are for the birds, but with an 8 stage envelope generator, you could really make some very interesting sounds. It's been under my bed for the last five to six years, and when I pulled it out and tried using it, I found it had given up to ghost. Everytime I turn the power on, all the lights blink on and off rapidly, and a constant tone is produced, it changes in pitch each time I power it on. I'm not too broken hearted, it's had a rough life, it's been dropped a few times, so I'm not surprised. I was thinking about buying another one on Ebay, I may do that. I have patches I've written if anyone's interested.

Amazing - that's exactly what happened with my CZ-101, to the letter! I gave up and threw mine away (nothing could get it working) and I found a nice CZ-1 for £85 on www.loot.com. Exactly the same architecture, but with 16 or 8 voices, 5-octave velocity and after-touch sensitive full-sized keyboard, mod wheel, onboard chorus, sustain pedal and 128 (or is it 256?) user memories. I have even used it as a MIDI master keyboard with a piano module (it's far more portable than my Studiologic SL-880 and of course can produce some killer Hammond and combo organ sounds by itself). By the way, I have a complete ring binder full of patches I've written, ranging from Crumhorn to Vibraslap, along with Trash Pad, Bland Sax, Mellotron Strings (which cut out after 8 seconds just to make you play it like a real 'Tron), Jah Skank, Hohner Pianet T and the best Grand Piano sound you're likely to get from a CZ (not very convincing).

2004-06-19 by Rocky Rodenbach
That's funny. I wonder how common this problem may be? I remember I wanted a CZ-1 but they were way too expensive at the time. I just bought a Yamaha DX7 on Ebay, I don't have it yet, but wanted to get one because they're such classics. Right now I'm using a Casio CT-700. The strange thing is, I can't find any information online about it! It's almost like it never existed. There's info for CT630, CT 670, etc, but only a real brief mention of it on google. It's a nice keyboard, 5 octave, 12 note poly. The polyphony is what I look for the most in a keyboard, you can't do much with 4 notes for example. '
I have a least a dozen patches I've written, most are pretty exotic. My main goal is to try and make a sound that doesn't compete with other instruments like the guitar, and still has the character of a keyboard. In other words, I don't want electric guitars sounds, just something that you can tell it's a keyboard and still has some grit to it. Show quoted textHide quoted text

Hi, thanks. That's an interesting idea! That very well could be the case. I had taken it apart at one time to try and clean the inside on the LCD display, I know, not a good idea! Anyhow, I had a heck of a time getting it back together, the inside is crammed with circuit boards, with not a millimeter to spare! It worked fine for years afterwards, it wasn't until last year It wouldn't work. I kind of miss it, like I mentioned, I still may pick one up. Also, I just remember, I left the battery's in it for over a year and the inside of the batt compartment got all corroded.

Not dumb at all!! Very good question. I just tried that, and no affect what so ever. The LCD doesn't work at all, not even garbage characters. All I can do with it is turn it on, and all it does is emit different low level tones each time I reset it. Thanks for the tip, but I think it's seriously toasted.

CZ1000
2012-02-18 by tellito82
Well i started playin garound with the cz1000 and im curious to see if anybody knew of a sound that might give me the old DX horns sound. Im playing with the two presets of trumpet and brass ensemble but i still get a tinny sound. Im looking for a richer thump to it like a dx sound, any guidance to the correct area paremeter or even sound would be great. im open to all suggestions for this thanks for the help if anybody has any ideas, just as a reference i purchased this on a whim since it was dx rival. According to lore a band in the 80's recorded an album with the Casio "tuba" sound, and all people could come close to is an dx sound. So i figured id give it a shot. FYI its regional mexican music Duranguenze if anybody is curios of what the application would be. That genre of music instead of a bass uses a keyboard/tuba. THanks for your time!
Re: CZ1000
2012-02-18 by fulfil_objective
It sounds like a great idea to use a CZ-1000 for a synth tuba. I don't have any perfect advice, but I appreciate the quest for a great, fat sound. One idea is that, since a tuba sound only needs to by monophonic, you can combine two sounds. Use "Tone Mix" to find two sounds that work together, and help each other out. It might be a brass sound and bass sound. Then work on changing the levels. The downside to Tone Mix is you lose polyphony, but that won't matter for tuba basslines. My second idea is that you use some kind of external effect to warm up the sound. My third idea is that you need some more brass sounds than just the ones that are built-in. Try grabbing some of the patches from this page: http://www.reocities.com/SunsetStrip/Frontrow/4877/cz101.html Get the ones that are for CZ-1000, figure out how to load them, and then play them to see if any are better for your purpose. Lastly, the thing about Casio tuba sound from the 80's... Casio had a lot of different hardware varieties over the years. They had analog, square wave, PCM, and digital to name a few. Only knowing the brand name (Casio), you can't say for sure what type of sound it was. I can imagine one of Casio's more analog early keyboards making a good tuba sound when amplified. Hope that helps somewhat! --- In CZsynth@yahoogroups.com, "tellito82" <tellito82@...> wrote:

OK, I will take some
pictures.
Today I have
opened it and start to disassembly it. It's not so easy
as boards are connected by flat plastic cables which are
soldered on both ends... grrrrr... so unpleasant and service
unfriendly. Similar way as on cheap Casio portables from
that times - I did cleaning and repairs of my MT65... at
least they have used there flat cables with relatively
thick wires inside. Here it's much more fragile, just
thin foil and inside metal traces. I have to be very careful
not to break some. If so, better to desolder it and use
standard wires. The reason for this is they wanted to save
money...that's why there are no multi pin
connectors.
Inside I
have found some rusty screws, and also some pieces of rust
on some metal parts. Will clean everything after full
disassembly.
I
couldn't find any problem with power connector,
there's no cold solder, no cracks... Probably just the
connector needs good cleaning inside, and adjusting the
contact. High humidity here in Japan during summer is guilty
for the oxidation...
Also contacts for cartridge had
green color from oxidation, I had cleaned it very carefully
with fine sand paper.
Another problem was with cover of
cartridge slot. It was fixed inside with transparent sticker
tape, and the reason was that spring which should keep it
closed was broken. Evidently previous owner didn't use
cartridge. So I made new spring from guitar string, works
perfectly now. I have RAM-3 cartridge, originally for my
CZ3000 but there it can be used only for data backup. CZ1000
offers direct access to 16 programs so I will use it now
with this instrument, it's more flexible. Still I have
another rare cartridge which offers 4 banks.
Keyboard is quite OK, it doesn't
need cleaning.
So now
I have to order LED display and replace the original one. It
will take some time...

could make it work on the first switch

Everything is OK, but power
connector board is probably somehow
moving, or there's a cold contact on the

move with it, sometimes instrument switches
off. Opening the
instrument will probably take more time than
the repair :-)
There's
a small coin battery in the holder inside the battery
compartment, it looks like previous owner did
this modification to
keep data when power off. I don't like
similar amateur looking mods so
will think twice if to leave it there or

The next step will
be replacing the display for modern one with LED
