![]() ![]() It had in total eight different waveforms: as well as the standard sawtooth, square, and pulse waveforms, it had a special double sine waveform, a half-sine waveform, and three waveforms with simulated filter resonance: resonant sawtooth, triangle, and trapezoidal waveforms. However, the CZ line used phase distortion to simulate an analog filter. Like many early digital synthesizers, its sound was regarded as 'thinner' than the sound of an analog synthesizer. ![]() To make the CZ synthesizers inexpensive, so they would be affordable to amateur musicians (a much larger market than the professional musician market), Casio used digital synthesis without a filter instead of traditional analog subtractive synthesis with a filter. Yukihiro Takahashi was also on board during development he then toured with a CZ-1 in 1986. Casio's phase distortion synthesis technique was championed by Casio engineer Mark Fukuda and evolved from the Cosmo Synth System that was custom-developed for legendary synthesist-composer Isao Tomita.
