How to program the Casio CZ Series from the CZ-101 to the CZ-1
hyperfollow.com/scififunk/
A Step-by-step tutorial for programming the Casio CZ Series of Vintage Synthesizers. I explain what each Pot and Slider does on the synthesizer and how they interact to create sound.
PLEASE NOTE - Subsequent Casio Programming Tutorials will use Plug-in Boutiques Virtual Casio CZ VST plugin, as its so much quicker to program this way.
This series demonstrates how the synth works at a high level, enough to get you making sounds. For an in-depth look at programming the Synth as a whole. Please refer to my advanced programming series.

00:00 Key Follow. Change the sound as you play higher up the keyboard
01:58 Filter programming examples. Patience is required! (Better to program via Plugin Boutiques Virtual Casio CZ VST plugin).
05:14 Sharper sound example. (Taking chorus off, key follow off)
06:12 CZ-1 Name your sounds (pretty good for 1985/6)
06:50 Velocity key applies velocity sensitivity. (CZ-1 only) Examples shown. How to get your sound sharp.
08:30 Add waveforms together, Ring Modulator.
09:00 An old cliche: Get a sound close to what you want to achieve and start fiddling = quicker results.
Please watch the whole video to make sense of the chapters.
** This ends the high-level walkthrough - more detailed walkthroughs to follow **
The Casio CZ-101 was my very first poly synth bought way back in 1985.
Please see my other tutorials where I explain similar principles on other Vintage synths like-
ROLAND SH-101
CASIO CZ-101/1000/3000/5000/1
PROTEUS 2000
ROLAND SVC-350 Vocoder
Also, drum machines like
EMU SP-12
ROLAND TR-808
Where I can't get access to the kit be sure I have it in Virtual format, and I'll explain all there. Synths that are just too expensive can be covered there like
ELKA SYNTHEX
SEQUENTIAL CIRCUITS PROPHET 5
OBERHIEM MATRIX 12
EMU EMULATOR 2
PPG WAVE
OSCAR
I've programmed them all.
