Casio CZ-101 midi synthesizer
via this auction
"The CZ-101 is a digital synth . It has a good 8-stage envelope design and uses Phase Distortion (PD) synthesis which gives it some pretty great sounds. The sounds are very similar to the Yamaha DX synthesizers.It modifies digital waveforms (sine waves) to create various sounds. It can create wild new sounds, notably percussive sounds.
There are 3 sets of 8-stage envelope sections are used to modulate your sounds extensively. The first is used to modify the DCO pitches over time. Another 8-stage envelope section in the DCW is used to modify the Phase Angle over time (like filtering). Finally the DCA amplifier also has an 8-stage envelope to modify the volume of sounds over time. For further tweaking the CZ-101 employs some surprisingly analog effects. Four types of Vibrato make up a simple LFO-type section with triangle, square, ramp up or down waveforms as well as rate, depth and delay settings. Portamento adds that classic glide effect from one note to the next. Double up on the oscillators with 4-note polyphony. Built-in noise and ring modulation. It's also MIDI equipped with 4 monophonic multitimbral parts."

"This sale allows the winner to choose the colour of the top and whether to keep the x0xb0x stock standard (with out mods) or for the 5 mods (below) to be hard wired.For a small extra fee (to be agreed on) I'll add switches to the 5 mods.
The choices are yours.
Standard Mods
SokkOS 1.9 Firmware (Will be reverted to standard OS if requested)
Power Switch.
Molex connectors.
Q8, Q9 & Q10 are socketed with the highest beta's chosen from a pool of 100.
Q1-Q4 and IC 15a and 15b are all socketed making it easy to install the ba662 chip if you have one spare. Note: This x0x does not come with a ba662 chip and in my experience it makes no difference to the sound.
Machined IC sockets used thru out with the exception of the 40pin controller IC socket.
LEDS
Steps, Tempo and Keyboard LEDS are blue diffused
Run/Stop Led is Green Diffused
All other LEDS are Red diffused
Hardwired mods (will be added if the winner requests them).
1. Increased Filter Low End
2. Env Mod Amount (all the way down)
3. Env Mod X3
4. Resonance Accent Increase
5. Bass Boost
Other Mods
Feel free to contact me regarding:
* adding switches to the 5 mods above
* installation of other mods
* Switchable gate always on Mod."
