Music Using Mostly Casio's Professional Synths?

[paugui]

If you add the RZ-1 for some drums, I'm sure it could give some nice results, especially if it was possible to use some good effects processors on them...

[minime123]

who needs an rz1 when youve got a sampler that can be loaded up with rz1 samplers?

that brass sound in the intro just gave me hives, but this is pretty cool regardless...

fz1 video: at 2:53, check out the peter gabriel sledgehammer ripoff.

That is one of the greatest commercials ever produced.

[minime123]

You need the RZ-1 to sample for making the rz-1 samples to sample in your other sampler.

Making music with just those three synths = great idea. I wish they were a little less noisy, though. With lots of overdubs and compression/limiting, that thing can become a problem fast, at least now that we're used to such squeaky clean recordings.

@projectwoofer I woulda posted it if you hadn't!

Got pointed to these a few days ago. I don't think the last one sounds like a moog, but I do think it sounds neat. Not sure if I just suck, but I can't do sounds like that on my FM synths.

Fantastic!

I have one. Who knows, maybe one day I'll switch it on and do something with it...

I agree, not much like a Moog, but those are definitely characteristic CZ sounds.

Have been thinking about making a song just with CZ-1000... maybe some day soon...

This is from a recent Vince Clarke thread.
Obviously a big fan of the 101.

[Alex Aliferis]

I remember walking into a studio in 1986 and seeing a CZ-101 sitting on top of a Synclavier's keyboard. Pros loved the bass and four-part multi-timbrality for competitively cheap.

@projectwoofer - great job, thanks for sharing.
and those cz5000 sound + sequence tracks are incredible. makes me wanna take tomorrow off and lock myself in my studio with my cz1. but thats not gonna be possible, unfortunately. (synth)pimpin aint easy.

Thanks a lot guys! I really like this synth!!

[TheBrightSide]

projectwoofer, just had a listen to your tracks, those are some of the best synth demo's I have heard. Do you have any more links to your work?

The RZ-1 is one of my fav drum machines for instant inspiration.

4x 0.2 second samples..

I set my iPod to random.. Spin the dial and sample into it. Sample roulette is what I call it.

[CoolColJ]

"Slide and Push it" is all Casio CZ, except the drums. Some pretty distinct CZ sounds on it




cASIO cz AGAIN

Heh, thx for the idea! I started doing this with my SK-8. Very inspirational.

I want an RZ-1, I think the hardware is similar to the SK-5/8 though.
