---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.
