---CZ PROGRAMMING TIPS---
|
||
|
||
This set of text files will help you learn to program your CZ
|
||
instrument! The CZ series has a wide range of features and
|
||
capabilities that are well worth exploring. I hope these hints
|
||
and tips are of use to you as you experiment and explore. These
|
||
tips were developed on a CZ-3000, and require few changes for the
|
||
other CZ intsruments. Please share your NEW, ORIGINAL voices in
|
||
text or librarian format- this will raise the quality level of
|
||
available voices and provide more sounds for all of us!
|
||
|
||
TIP #1: Use the vibrato on wave #4 with a depth of 99 to achieve a
|
||
slapback repetition effect at the octave. Of course, the delay can be adjusted
|
||
as necessary, and the rate will now control the rate of the
|
||
slapback. This effect is nice on bass patches to provide rhythmic
|
||
intensity.
|
||
|
||
TIP #2: DCO envelopes can be used to set the pitch levels
|
||
independantly of the DETUNE function.
|
||
example a- DCO at fundamental pitch
|
||
Step 1: RATE 50 (setting doesn't matter, this is the default)
|
||
LEVEL=00 END
|
||
example b- DCO up an octave
|
||
Step 1: RATE=99 LEVEL=66 SUS
|
||
Step 2: RATE=00 LEVEL=00 END
|
||
example c- DCO up 2 octaves
|
||
Step 1: RATE=99 LEVEL=72 SUS
|
||
Step 2: RATE=00 LEVEL=00 END
|
||
|
||
TIP #3: Use RATE=00 to come out of the DCO envelope setting to
|
||
avoid a pitch falloff at the end of the sound. Or make sure the
|
||
DCA cuts off quickly. Unless you want it to sound like that. It's
|
||
it fun?
|
||
|
||
TIP #4: When using the DCO envelopes, an initial RATE of 99 to about 85
|
||
produces a 'click' or squeal that is useful for percussive
|
||
attack. Back off the RATE to 80 for a fast attack with no squeal.
|
||
|
||
If you have questions about CZ programming, I'll try to help
|
||
(no guarantees, of course!). Leave a message on the MIDI BBS
|
||
(404) 454-8059 to David Scott, and I'll reply there if I can.
|
||
|
||
Have fun! -David
