The Casio CZ series. (six of them!), an LFO and CZ patch compatibility- this synth could easily replace a CZ. And can read CZ SysEx files (but does not. Jun 30, 2016  New Casio CZ Patch Sets. CZounds has announced 4 new patch sets for classic Casio CZ synths, including Casio CZ-1, CZ-101, CZ-1000. But sysex and midi-ox is fine enough. June 30, 2016 at 2:57 pm Reply.

Casio CZ MIDI/SYSEX Casio CZ MIDI/SYSEX THIS IS AIMED SPECIFICALLY AT CZ101,CZ1000 and CZ5000 OWNERS. This document covers transmission of programming information ( both to and from the CZ ), setting of the controllers you previously couldn't access like tone mix level, and other bits besides.

First off, let's recap on the simple stuff. The MIDI is a digital interface to musical instruments, and relies on serial transmission of data. These data are usually talked of in terms of bytes, and I shall be using hexadecimal numbers in this posting. There are basically two types of bytes sent over MIDI - control bytes and data bytes.

Control bytes are distinguished by having values over 0x80 ( 80 hex, 128 decimal ), and these have valious meanings: 1) NOTE ON ---------- A note on message consists of sending a 'NOTE ON' control byte, the note number you want to turn on, and the velocity at which you want to play the note. The note on control is 90 plus the channel number. So, for example, if you want to play note 32 ( = hex 20) at speed 64 (= hex 40), on the midi instrument receiving on channel two, then you would send: 92 20 40 NOTE ON, channel 2 Note #32 Velocity 64 If you wish to turn two or more notes on at the same time, the control byte need not be retransmitted. Eg to turn note 35 on as well, you could send 92 20 40 23 40 NOTE ON, ch2 ---32 on-- ---35 on-- These codes can be transmitted both ways on all the CZ 101,1000,5000, but since they do not detect note velocity, it is always transmitted and recognized as 64 (= 40 hex).

2) NOTE OFF ----------- Just send a note on message with velocity 0. Eg to turn note 35 off, send 92 23 00 NOTE ON,Ch 2 --35 off-- 3) CONTROL CHANGE ----------------- There are several controls that can be set from MIDI. Just send a 'CONTROL CH' byte, which is B0 plus the channel number, the number of the control that you wish to change, then the value you wish to set it to.

This soundset comes with 64 patches and 64 combinations (aka Tone Mix). The content is mostly oriented toward bass, pad and lead sounds (with bass being a trademark of CZ line of synths).

Also included are some emulations of analogue sounds, some special effects and of course all the sounds from my YouTube CZ1 Demo which so many of you have asked for. Excluded was only the snare which was replaced by LatelyBass (TX81Z emulation) which IMO sounds way better. It should be said that this set will work only on model CZ-1 and not any others (i.e. CZ-101, CZ-1000, CZ-5000) because a lot of the patches use the velocity to modulate the amount of phase distortion.

Technically it might be possible to convert this set for the other models however many of the patches would simply not sound the way they were designed to which is why i decided not to go that route. The good old Youtube demo: Here are few overdubs stitched together, made with patches from this set. Last track in this demo uses external drums: And here is a short track made with a few overdubs (Midiverb I was used for reverberation): Selection of patches from this collection. All recorded dry, without any processing: Bonus demo Here is another demo – short but sweet. It’s my favorite actually yet for some reason Soundcloud chews too much out of it, so here is a 320kbps mp3 version instead, which sounds way better: This demos uses a touch of DP/4+ for the delay effect and some external drums and that’s about it.
