![]() This could cause the appearance of a sub-harmonic one octave below the nominal pitch of the sound, due to the period of the combined waveform taking twice as long as a single waveform would. Unlike other synthesizers, where having multiple waveforms caused those multiple waveforms to be mixed together (parallel), the CZ synthesizers would play one waveform and then play the other, and so on in alternation (series). The simulated filter resonance was not considered to sound much like real filter resonance, being a simple waveform at the filter cutoff value instead of a real filter resonating.Įach digital oscillator could have one or two waveforms. However, the CZ line used phase distortion to somewhat simulate an analog filter, it had in total eight different waveforms: as well as the standard sawtooth, square, and pulse waveforms, it had a special double sine waveform, a half-sine waveform, and three waveforms with simulated filter resonance: resonant sawtooth, triangle, and trapezoidal waveforms. ![]() Also non-resonant waveforms 1~5 can cascade with other waveforms, and as a result, 33 waveforms (basic:8, cascade:25) are available. Like the CZ-101, this synthesizer had 49 keys. It was also somewhat larger than the CZ-101. This synthesizer, introduced in 1985, was identical to the CZ-101 in function, but used full size keys and more attractive membrane buttons. The CZ-1000 was the second fully programmable phase distortion synthesizer that Casio introduced.
