CASIO CZ-101 (Phase Distortion Synthesizer)

[@flubberghosted2472]

It’s amazing how warm phase distortion synthesis can sound!! 😭❤️

[@tsukuyomi8017]

The beginning pad sounds almost exactly like some of the pads in certain iconic Silent Hill tracks.

[@FoxyChariot]

I love the strings on this synth they have such a unique character

[@baddriddimworkshop]

the cz is amongst way more expensive units in my collection of favorites... most underated synth ever... this was a real treet.

[@Grow_Everything]

This sounds so great! Your videos truly showcase what a hidden gem the CZ series is. I've listened to a few of your albums and they are awesome. Mesmerizing tracks.

[@TMS5100]

Most notable for being one of the first consumer affordable synthesizers with MIDI.

[@alexiswolfe]

Never heard one of these played so well.. thank you

[@hardcorehouse]

This is the best demo I’ve heard both playing and the programming. I got my first CZ when they first came out in around 86.

[@j.lietka9406]

Why does the 101 command a rather high resale (used) value? I found one - yes, found - a 101 in some curbside stuff. It seems to work but haven't tested it fully. No cartridge either! Thank you 🤓

[@hardcorehouse]

If the prices are higher, I think it’s just higher prices for everything during the vintage era of the 70s-80s that the CZ was the last part of. I’m quite certain it doesn’t approximate the stuff that came before it, but it’s similar to those on a budget mid to late 80s trying to approximate that and continuing on to the 90s, who would appreciate something this and other mid-late 80s gear

[@j.lietka9406]

@@hardcorehouse to me it was sort of a lucky find. A hobby I have is looking for electronics in dumpsters and curbside stuff. Also found an Asus monitor but screen is messed up! If I decide to sell it, I wouldn't ask as much as others are asking. Thank you 🤓 can you tell what year it was made by a serial number? I think I read where about 16,500 of the 101 series were made from around 1984 - 1987

[@Samplers]

Love all your music. Nice to hear a new tune! Wireless MIDI - so cool! CZ-1 here in Sydney, Australia.

[@althejazzman]

Wow, super thick sounds. Saving and loading presets from the iPad makes it even more accessible.

[@foreverseethe]

Love you guys. Big fan in Italy by way of the Caribbean.

[@Steril707]

I had a CZ5000 for many years.. Loved it a lot, but when I moved to a smaller apartment it had to go... Wanna get a CZ101 soon, though.. Really miss the CZ-Sound. It's the most unique sounding digital synth in my opinion..

[@sandsshady531]

涙が出るほどに素晴らしいです。 CZ-5000 Sounds & Sequencesの1と2が再販されることを心から願っております。

[@lastcontinent]

もし中学の頃にこんなビデオ見せられてたらこのシンセが欲しくて欲しくて転げまわってたな😁

[@francescobarrali637]

As always, the best demo using a Casio synth. Keep it up!

[@andreasboll5984]

Thanks for the video. I love everything from the CZ / VZ family. You quickly demonstrated how well a CZ 101 can get 👍 Great! Musical greetings from Germany

[@mmrva]

In love with your music since 2012!

[@longdongsilver4719]

A complete drum kit made with a CZ-101, wow! I'm impressed! I love particularly the handlaps and I'm really wondering how you did that...

[@paulgardener5525]

I have a CZ5000. Better start using it. :)

[@manuelalejandroorqueravald6511]

Excelente demostración!

[@lukebussey5218]

This is amazing

[@my4trackmachine]

Beautiful. Love to see new music from you! You guys made me fall in love with my cz-1 again.

[@qlyde]

So happy you are still doing this! I will start making some CZ videos soon too, just got a new Relay for the CZ-1

[@grimlywallace9358]

Magick

[@chinossynthesizer705]

I do fm synthesis, and i must say phase distortion was interesting it was a new take instead of all the analog synths in the 80s.

[@GarHoover]

Killer job! This makes me really want to pick a CZ-101 up!

[@iii-vvvvv-iii7702]

Love this, Please make more!

[@tybowesformerlygoat-x7760]

Beautiful.

[@DocBolus]

My first real synth, so badly abused I ended up soldering the power cable to it when the power input jack broke. I lent it to a band mate years and years ago and never saw it again.. Oh well, happy days.

[@DetroitMicroSound]

My first real synth, in 88 or 89! ❤ Cool track!

[@ER-bg9bo]

Great, love my ctx too😉👍

[@popcycles]

lush❤

[@neocortexlab]

40 khz, 12 bit, 8 voices -- realy good for middle ~80`s

[@j.lietka9406]

What are the small cubes - plug ins for the cable jacks? - for? I got a hold of the CZ 101 (curbside stuff) to-day. I got a hold of a suitable wall charger & it seems to works. Thank you 🤓 great sounds you created! I haven't completely tested it yet.

[@ashleywhiteman2684]

is there a download on bandcamp ? I've always rated the cz series , my first synth was a cz1000, i've got the cz3000 dh100, ht6000 and a few of the vz series another wonderful engine.

[@tzodearf2596]

Vapor wave before waves caught the vapors

[@karinegrandvoinet2038]

seq within ?

[@LuizaFreitasCosta]

what do you think about getting one in 2024?

[@jonaskeusch]

Hey Satoshi & Makoto, love your albums and your patches! Do you know whether your patches also work for the Arturia VST or not?

[@jonaskeusch]

In case anyone else wonders, I have tried it and they actually can be imported with the Arturia VST. Nice.

[@TheSkatingAces]

@@jonaskeusch thanks for sharing! definitely gonna try that
