Rate was responsible for the speed of the envelope, and level - for the pitch, the cutoff frequency of the filter and the volume. 8-step envelope generators were much more flexible than traditional ADSR - due to individual values of rate and level for each stage. CZ-3000, CZ-5000 and CZ-1 had 16 digital oscillators.

CZ-101 and CZ-1000 had 8 digital oscillators enabling an 8-note polyphony only if the patch used one oscillator per voice. Each digital oscillator had one or two waveforms and, unlike other synthesizers, played the waves back not in combination but in succession. Phase distortion was designed to compensate for the lack of analog filters in its own way. Digital synthesis lacking filter made the sound thin and slender – it had nothing in common with those lively analog machines. CZ was a family of instruments with phase distortion synthesis invented by the brand engineer Mark Fukuda. Synthesizers influenced Yamaha, which also wanted to create a budget series of programmable digital synthesizers – Yamaha released the famous DX line. These instruments continued Casiotone series.ĬZ series, which was released in the mid-1980s, included CZ-101, CZ-230S, CZ-1000 synthesizers (the second fully programmable brand synthesizer), CZ-2000S, CZ-2600, CZ-3000, CZ-5000, and CZ -1. Nevertheless they were extremely common and accessible for a while which made them popular among garage rock bands or even quite well-known indie musicians, for example, Hot Chip and Tame Impala.Īfter the release of the first electric piano PT series mono synthesizers appeared on the market including PT-30, PT-50, PT-80 and PT-82.

However it had a distinctive feature of being miniature and was designed for children's fingers rather than for professional musicians.

The keyboard of the Casiotone series included a rhythm generator with a choice of rhythm patterns and an automatic accompaniment playback function. The instruments used the Vowel-Consonant synthesis which imitated the sounds of other instruments (quite a mediocre and approximate imitation).
In 1980 the company released its first series of Casiotone instruments. CZ, CTK, WK series, electric pianos Celviano, Privia are of great popularity among the company’s electric musical instruments. Synthesizers and digital pianos from Casio are widely used first of all by beginning musicians for learning but also by professionals. The brand quickly gained popularity by constantly improving its products and developing new models. Today the brand is best known as a manufacturer of calculators, audio equipment, handheld personal computers, cameras, tablets, wristwatches and, of course, electronic musical instruments. Casio tried to write his name alongside well-known manufacturers of digital musical instruments but their pragmatic approach went against those principles the musical world was all about.Ĭasio company was founded in April 1946 by the engineering technologist Tadao Kashio in Tokyo.
