I still own this wonderful time machine, still play on it. Recently I discovered VZV CZ Patch Editor (freeware), bought a decent midi interface (Roland UM-One mk2), got rid of its crappy display and ram memory. I bought my 101 back in 1985 or so. Still with me ❤️

[@retrosound72]

very cool! Thank you for your feedback. :)

Still have my Casio CZ-230S that I bought back in 1986 and it still works!

[@retrosound72]

Have fun. 🎹🙌

[@finebalance]

My first ever synth. It was quite advanced for its time being 4 part multitimbral. It was also a good bass machine, as good as the Yamaha DX in that department. The synth in the video looks in very good condition.

the sweet, round sounds of the CZ101 are still very usable.

[@retrosound72]

Agree with you

[@KlaraKopf]

Klingt wie ein digitaler seiner Zeit. Außer dem, für mich unerwartet, dicken, runden und sehr schönem Filter. Ein interessanter und dazu noch bildender Beitrag, wieder mal von Dir! Liebe und so...

[@retrosound72]

Unterhaltung und noch etwas dazu lernen, das ist super. 🎹 Der CZ generiert das Filter digital mit Phasenverschiebung. Mit der DCW Hüllkurve wird die Wellenform im Zeitverlauf unterschiedlich stark verzerrt, wodurch Obertöne entstehen. So gelingen mit den Resonanz Wellen sogar sweeps.

[@KlaraKopf]

@@retrosound72 Wooh! Das schreit nach einem Deep Dive in das Thema. Sehr schön!

[@tpmsnewenglandworld6069]

Wow those are cool. Oldest keyboard of casio.

Thank you for Watching

[@unclejerrysworld]

I refused an offer from my sax player to use this live and i refused because I was embarrased to have the CASIO name on my Synth Stack..... What a stupid kid I was!!!! This thing could have solved a lot of my sound problems back then..... Stupid old Uncle Jerry...... :)

Oh u stayed short. After CZ series.. came the VZ-1 a mounster!. Decades after 2 models CASIO WX-1 XS-1 after that they never realeased a bord, even alike. Cheers!

[@synthesizernews]

Very good demo of the genuine CZ-sound. I´m still amazed that CASIO never thought about a new rendition or reissue of their masterpiece synth-line. Aside of their mediocre iPad App of 2015 they never capitalized on their still huge fanbase.

you made some great soundscapes here would be good for 80s style film sound tracks, love the CZs the first digital synth I had and learnt to program, has a unique sound,

[@michaelmitchell8218]

Always wonder if the band talk,talk used this synth on there first album ? Some on the sounds you play sound like the ones on their album. Great little synth and I think Casio helped a lot of people back then getting into music and starting a career in it. Casio did so many things with their synths and kept their prices down too. As always great video and fantastic demo of this little synth. Just one more thing, I’m sure Vince Clark used this as a master keyboard back in the days of Yazoo.

[@retrosound72]

Thank you Michael. Vince used the CZ on the first Erasure Album. He had a stack with six CZ 101 connected over MIDI. Talk Talk not I think. But I used Talk Talk sounds here. One of my favorite bands ever. Have a great weekend.

[@J._Campbell]

Отличная работа, мой друг! All the best!

Phase Distortion is awesome, such awesome evolving sounds you can make with it. I should dust off my DIY CZ clone tbh... Been a bit caught up in FM lately haha

[@NicholasBryantBonzaiSequoias]

You should have demonstrated the actual sound of parameter edits.. that could be used to great effect in sync with a track. My CZ-1000 (and -1) still find a place in my music. Casio created a great synthesis architecture in PD, that would still work well nowadays (perhaps with MIDI clocked LFOs and envelopes..)! After all if Korg are re-releasing their first synth why not Casio..?

[@retrosound72]

Thank you 🙌

Isn´t that the synth the allmighty Johannes Rojola used for "Lennetään Avaruustanssiin"? The pad at 3:48 sounds suspicious... 😏

Probably not becouse i think casio synthetizers and keyboards share some sounds
