Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

with a name like sinth master ,i was thinking you would be good at
synthesizers....
 what are you good at ?
...am i deluded?

i am no synth master
but i know there are mega mega patches in the files section

have fun
music first!

Does anyone have any good patches written down on data sheets?  I recently got a cz-1000 and am looking for some good analog style patches, but am a little slow to figure out the interface.  

thanks yall

You can find easily zillions of patches written in text, or as SysEx  
dumps...

Don't expect good analog style patches, CZ is digital instrument with  
limited possibilities, and no classical filter. But it can produce  
nice and interesting sounds of its own with specific charm.

It's worth spending time to learn it. It is not and never will be near an
analog synth. It's a CZ, you program it like a CZ and it sounds like a CZ!
Hehe.

Serious, take the time to read the manual a bit. When I first got it, I
remember using it on my lap with my headphones connected to it. Must be one
of the easiest synth I've ever programmed and had a load of fun!

Hi,
I haven't found any patch sheets online... But then I haven't really looked either. What I recommend though is reverse engineering some of the many SysEx patches you can find online. That's how I started. My CZ1 was actually the first synth I ever learned to program. I downloaded a bunch of SysEx patches online, went through them and picked out a variety of different sounds and reverse-engineered them by writing their every parameter setting onto patch sheets of my own creation.

I ended up using this technique to learn basic subtractive synthesis when I got my Jupiter 6 soon after.

Cheers,
James

OK, Xmas are away, but I have sent all my sounds and docs about CZ and  
PD synthesis to this address:

http://www.uschovna.cz/en/package/H4I2TVY7JHWWYUIH-DH5

First thirty people are winners and can download it during the next 14  
days. Then maybe some other can send it again for the other who will  
be interested to get it.

Enjoy!

Method of reverse engineering is not bad, especially when there's some  
specialty or trick in the sound and we don't know how it was done. But  
anyway it's good to understand relations between different parameters,  
and which are important, and try to "decompose", guess, find all sound  
parameters roughly just from the hearing the sound. I think main  
points on CZ are:
- selection and combination of waveforms
- detune
- envelopes
- ring/noise modulation
- combinations of lines
- Tone Mix - combinations of sounds
- Solo mode + portamento

I've got Jupiter 6, too, it's nice synth with some interesting  
specialties.

There are some patches and the blurb that says how to get them into the CZ at the above link.

      Does anyone have any good patches written down on data sheets?  I recently got a cz-1000 and am looking for some good analog style patches, but am a little slow to figure out the interface.  



thanks yall

Recently I have found these free sounds for CZ:
