Arturia CZ V Software Synthesizer Download

The CZ V models the Casio CZ-101 and CZ-1000, two 'cheap but cheerful' cult synthesizers behind many '80s pop hits. This reimagining adds a ton of new features that will suck you in to the exciting world of PD synthesis.

In the early ’80s, Casio wasn’t about to sit still while the DX7 took over the world. Fortunately, they had a platform to build on — a high-end synth workstation called Cosmo. It’s the direct ancestor of the CZ-101, whose mini keys and $499 price tag put real synthesis in the hands of a new generation of musicians.

The 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.Everything you need for breathtaking tracks and gig-ready sounds is arranged for maximum connection between thoughts, hands, and music.

• Eyes Meet Ears: See exactly what’s happening to your sound as you play and the waveforms morph, right in the central display area.
• Drop the Bass, Tweak the FX: Four sliders can each control multiple parameters at once for performance gestures from subtle to drastic.
• Dedicated Vibrato: We’ve upgraded the CZ’s stand-alone vibrato section with more waveforms, tempo sync, and adjustable delay.
• Guilty Pleasure Generator: What would an ’80s synth be without a classic arpeggiator? Ours features six patterns (including as-played and random) and up to a 4-octave range.
• Line Up: Choose to hear Line 1, Line 2, both, or Line 1 plus a copy of itself. Then, ring- or noise-modulate them here.
• Poly or Mono: Toggle into mono mode for thick unison leads on solos, then back to poly for playing chords, with one button.
