Casio CZ-1 - Part 1: Normal Mode - Block Configuration; CZ-1 Block Configuration Overview

The PD sound
source
of the
CZ-1 makes
it
a
fully
digital
synthesizer.
Actually,
however,
the
DCO
(pitch
and
basic
waveform
setting), DCW
(timbre
control),
and DCA
(volume
control) digital
circuits
of
the
Parameter
Section
result
in
a
block
configuration
that
closely
resembles
an analog
synthesizer.
The
block
configuration
of
the
CZ-1
consists
of
LINE
1
and LINE
2
which
make
up a
dual
system.
DETUNE
allows
you
to create
differences
between
the
sounds
generated
by LINE
1
and
2
to
produce
subtle
nuances.
With
LINE
SELECT,
a single
line
can
be
output
or
combined
with
the
detuned line for
a
total
of 4 line
output
settings.

ENVELOPE
....
Digital
envelope
generator
(DEG) that
sets
envelopes
with
up
to
8
steps. Two
lines
consisting
of
DCO,
DCW,
and
DCA
result in
a total
of 6
independent
envelopes.
VELOCITY
....
Parameter
which
sets the
degree
of
change
in
the enve-
lope
level
according
to the
key
touch
pressure.
In-
dependent
settings
are
possible for
DCO,
DCW,
and
DCA
of both
lines.
LEVEL
....
Parameter
that
independently
sets
the volume
level
for
LINE
1 and
LINE
2.
