ARPEGGIO PATCH

ARPEGGIO PATCH

2008-06-03 by mirfederico

Hello everybody!! pHede from Buenos Aires here! Does anybody have an 
arpeggio patch for CZ-1?!?! I´m very new in synths and find it very 
difficult to create cool sounds :( 
Is it possible to create ARPEGGIO SOUNDS with CZ´s Synths?!!?
(I mean sounds like used in "Heart of Glass" from Blondie"
Other cuestion: Does anybody know where I can find cool patches on the 
web?!(sysex or txt) THANX!!!!!!!!

Not without an external arpeggiator or a sequencer. The envelope generators in the CZ synths have no "loop" feature, so once the END point is reached, that's it. I once used an analog delay pedal with a CZ to gve a sort of pulsing sequencer effect.

Howdy,

 Look for an old Oberheim machine. It arpeggiates anything you play 
into it. I don't remember what it's called but it works great. you can 
also try doing modulation with the LFO while triggering it with a 
sequencer.

It was called the Oberheim Cyclone. Good luck in finding one. Oh, and according to this retro-review, it had certain reliability issues...

Re: ARPEGGIO PATCH

Phede,

I think the sound in Heart Of Glass is not really an arpeggio sound,
it's more like a gated bass sound. You can approximate this on your CZ
without the need for more equipment. It won't be a perfect solution,
but it will sound similar.

Use the Vibrato function like this:

1. Turn off the modulation wheel by hitting the modulation key. This
is necessary for vibrato to function.

2. Create a sustained bass sound that has the tone and properties you
like.

3. Now hit the Vibrato button to change the vibrato settings for the
sound. Change the Vibrato Wave to "4", which is the square wave, which
will give a gated sound. Set Vibrato Delay to "00", no delay. Play
around with Vibrato Rate until you get it to match the tempo of your
song in the way that you imagined it. Change Vibrato Depth to "99",
which is the maximum.

This will give you a gated sound like in Heart Of Glass. It's not
exactly the right thing, but it's worth playing around with.

That's an ingenious solution - I'd forgotten the square-wave vibrato option! As has been said, setting it to 99 gives you a 1-octave shift at concert pitch. I once used it (at about 8 Hz) for a calliope (fairground organ) sound for an amateur pantomime production! Sadly, my current Casio, the WK-3000 won't do an exact octave, although it does still have the squarewave option.
