the "modulation depth" button or the wheel or vibrato button. i agree that the noise isnt that great

freqbox? you can have yourself a real guitar synth setup then

...it does this thing where certain voices distort all crazy and feedback... and nobody can repair it apparently Repair it! That sounds amazing! but speaking (or rather typing) of CZs doing weird things. i was making a new patch today and the second dco's pitch envelope was capable of going below z...

i think the 2nd video on the DSI website was a liitle better. gave an idea on how more "traditional" synth settings sound so you have a little something more to compare it to

i thought the classic square and attack filterbass patches sounded best. seems really neat but deffinately want to try it out for myself

you would still need the digital menu to set the range of the knobs (ie: i set the filter resonance to 11 so when i turn the res knob it hits right before it goes into self oscillation) but that would be really cool if you could do that

Can anyone describe the sequencer on the 5000 a bit? Is it just a scratchpad or can you loop patterns / transpose etc.? its more like a composer than a sequencer. you can select what type of note you want(quarter, sixteenth, whole, dotted, etc) put in rests, ties, repeats (you can have a section lo...

i just started messing with the sequencer today, and holy c**p can you do alot with that. very intelligent design. the manual says it can save info to cassette tapes, ive heard of this before but how does it do that? are there special types of cassette players? and are the MT cables still made? it d...

i just picked up a cz-5000 at a thrift shop. second polysynth and 1st digital. but really like it despite haveing one key that is cracked off at the bottom. the 8 point envelope was a litte weird at first, but there is some real potential in these cheap synths

demos sound good to me, really good. i think i found my next synth

Huh-zah! Thanks ive been searching and searching and everything i found told me to use the cz-3000 manual!!! you rock!

i was able to get the batteries to work but i cant figure out how the sequencer works... it may be broken..or i might be everything else is fully functional, but when i press any of the sequencer buttons it just reads "memory 100% available" or "local on/off"

Intelligent comparisons that inform the good folks of VSE are great, as long as they don't turn into "should I get synth X or synth Y?"... when X is a 303 and Y a DX 7. (It's all in the Guidelines ) So comparisons between blue and a yellow synthesizers are legal ? Though these complementary colors ...

sweet thanks! yeah kinda goofy looking but it will be on my wish list for sure

can someone repost the pic and/or link? the pic wont show up and the link just takes me to a blank sonic state page ( this thing sounds exciting though! and SO INEXPENSIVE!!!!!
