Fortunately, they had a platform to build on — a high-end synth workstation called Cosmo.

By changing the linearity of how a simple waveform plays, like speeding up the start of the cycle, it’s no longer a simple waveform. That’s the concept at the heart of phase distortion synthesis and CZ V’s sound.\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-extralight text-2xl mt-6 mb-3\"\u003eDCO \u0026gt; DCW \u0026gt; DCA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach DCO in CZ V lets you select from the 8 original waveforms or draw your own. Some serial combinations of two different waveforms are provided for, resulting in many more possibilities. Each DCO is followed by a corresponding digitally controlled waveshaper (DCW) section, including key follow and an 8-stage envelope generator. This animates the amount of waveshaping from the modulator over time. There’s also an eight-stage envelope for DCO frequency, allowing for pitch-change effects far beyond vibrato, trills and lasers. A digitally controlled amplifier (DCA) with its own eight-stage envelope rounds out a DCO\u0026gt;DCW\u0026gt;DCA signal chain roughly equivalent to that of analog VCO\u0026gt;VCF\u0026gt;VCA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-extralight text-2xl mt-6 mb-3\"\u003eBetween the lines\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike the original, the CZ V has two complete DCO\u0026gt;DCW\u0026gt;DCA signal lines that you can use individually or in parallel. Duplicate settings in each line allows for a fatter sound given the ability to transpose and\/or detune them, while separate settings provide for much more complex timbres. You might, for example, shape a hyper-percussive sound in one line and craft a pad in the other to combine into a compound timbre. Other goodies faithful to the original include a dedicated vibrato section, polyphonic portamento, ring modulation and noise modulation.\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-span-12 lg:col-span-8 lg:col-start-3\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex flex-col\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"h-full\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-extralight text-2xl my-3\"\u003eSimple Synthesis\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUltimately, the beauty of PD compared to the better-known FM is that there are only four primary things that really control the timbre of each CZ line: the DCO’s modulating waveform and the three envelopes. Both PD and FM have made significant and instantly recognizable contributions to music, but the simpler concept of PD can ironically get a lot closer to analog bass, brass, strings and more with a lot less fiddling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-span-12 lg:col-span-10 lg:col-start-2 mt-12\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-extralight text-2xl text-center my-3\"\u003eOur DSP team reverse-engineered the code inside the CZ-series and even modeled the DAC outputs, delivering the perfect combination of authentic PD behavior and that crunchy, almost-lo-fi sound of the ‘80s, right in your DAW.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex flex-col gap-6 mb-12\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"mb-6\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA CZ for\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"small\"\u003eToday\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"md:w-1\/2 small\"\u003eThe CZ-101 had an instant and intuitive interface, especially for an early digital synth - yet CZ V is quicker and more performance-oriented in every way.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"lg:grid-cols-2 grid grid-cols-1 gap-6\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eEverything you need for breathtaking tracks and gig-ready sounds is arranged for maximum connection between thoughts, hands, and music.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"h4 prep\"\u003e01.
