CASIO CZ1000 sounds : human voice

Here are 3 sounds I have programmed in 1986 on a CZ1000. The first and the third are "robot voices", obtained with the combination of resonnant waveforms and the ring modulator. The second is a simple sweep of the resonnant waveform by the DCW.

i remember I was fascinated by this vocoder emulation patch - though mine differed to the degree that speeded up - it produced distinct phonemes like "hey"which although robotic

were quite impressive back in the day.

that's what im doing, surely not the best method. thanks anyway.

@Yunneck bben a long time since I had one , but here goes... in the end, I kind of cheated.

Using a long delay on an external FX box (3 part taps worked well). When used sympathetically... it worked pretty well. If you time your playing to the rhythm of the delay... it did cover much issue up. Also, to prevent re triggering, I made big progressive patches monophonic (the CZ 1 could do that, no sure it you could for all CZ synths)

true, envelope generator in cz-1000 have 8 points

still, i cant get rid of key scalling of envelopes of DCW

it works with smaller amuount in higher notes than the lower ones

wat do?

BRACE FOR IMPACT!!

the ADSR envelopes on the CZ were and are wonderful.... think it had about eight sections in I recall.

You could make a patch that would take over 5 minutes to go through all the changes in timbre that you could make just by programming some very long times into the Envelope section.

yyyesss... i need these patches.... that was just great
