Hello,
I have a CZ1 , that was my first synthesizer , but one day I turn it on and if you touch any key , it sounds a very high note and hold on , if you play more keys it adds up but with high notes. If you play MIDI , all is correct, all notes , program change , etc.
Anyone have any idea what can happen ?.
Thank you2016-07-04 by Daniel Forró
Your description is not quite exact... I think it's you who should have an idea what happened :-) There's always some reason for such behavior. One of them, for example, can be that if it was not in use for longer time period, maybe contacts are dirty or oxidized. I would reseat and clean all connectors as a first simple step. Focus on keyboard cables and connectors, I suppose there are some. Sometimes after the long sleep it's good to leave the machine on for longer time - three days and nights, but keep eye on it and switch off again when you can't stay near it.

If it is working all right through MIDI, but not with the keyboard, it probably means that the internal keyboard processor is out of order. If I remember correctly there is a dedicated IC controlling the keyboard. Den 2. juli. 2016 kl. 18.01 skrev roberflas@...

Are you sure it’s not the internal battery(possibly a 2032 or other standard computer battery)???? I know when my CZ-101 did this the backup memory batteries were dead. The on board sounds in the CZ-101 were backed up by C batteries. That would be the first thing I would check. If you can’t change it yourself you’ll have to find a local tech to do it. Cheers, Brian In Ohio

Hi all, i just change the battery with a new one and The keyboard are wrong, one notes sound ok but the scale is wrong and another keys sound too hight in tone and sustained until poder off, in the middle of keyboard all notes are sustained and too hight the key velocity touch is ok for all keys.
Any idea about what happen.
Thank you

Possibly a dead internal memory battery? Likely on the main board inside. I’m not sure if it used the typical button cell ex. 2032 or not in the CZ-1… Good Luck, Brian In Ohio

I can’t remember if there’s a system reset on the CZ-1 or not it’s been to long ago…if you have the manual check that if not look around the web…
