The CZ V models the Casio CZ-101 and CZ-1000, two 'cheap but cheerful' cult synthesizers behind many '80s pop hits. This reimagining adds a ton of new features that will suck you in to the exciting world of PD synthesis.

In the early ’80s, Casio wasn’t about to sit still while the DX7 took over the world. Fortunately, they had a platform to build on — a high-end synth workstation called Cosmo. It’s the direct ancestor of the CZ-101, whose mini keys and $499 price tag put real synthesis in the hands of a new generation of musicians.

The CZ-101 had an instant and intuitive interface, especially for an early digital synth - yet CZ V is quicker and more performance-oriented in every way.Everything you need for breathtaking tracks and gig-ready sounds is arranged for maximum connection between thoughts, hands, and music.
  • Eyes Meet Ears: See exactly what’s happening to your sound as you play and the waveforms morph, right in the central display area.
  • Drop the Bass, Tweak the FX: Four sliders can each control multiple parameters at once for performance gestures from subtle to drastic.
  • Dedicated Vibrato: We’ve upgraded the CZ’s stand-alone vibrato section with more waveforms, tempo sync, and adjustable delay.
  • Guilty Pleasure Generator: What would an ’80s synth be without a classic arpeggiator? Ours features six patterns (including as-played and random) and up to a 4-octave range.
  • Line Up: Choose to hear Line 1, Line 2, both, or Line 1 plus a copy of itself. Then, ring- or noise-modulate them here.
  • Poly or Mono: Toggle into mono mode for thick unison leads on solos, then back to poly for playing chords, with one button.

Features: 
  • Two synthesis lines and independent noise source
  • All CZ-101/CZ-1000 original parameters
  • 8 original waveform and custom waveform editor
  • Original CZ SysEx import
  • CZ, DADSR and Multi-Segments envelopes (syncable and loopable) to control pitch, DCW and amplitude
  • 2 Modulation envelopes
  • 4 assignable macros
  • Advanced modulation matrix
  • A Sample and Hold module, 2 LFOs with 6 waveforms, 3 sources combinators and an Arpeggiator
  • 4 FXs slots that can be routed in serie or per synthesis line
  • A synthesis line state viewer for real-time feedback
  • Emulation of the original CZ DAC
  • 32 voices of polyphony
  • Up to 8 voices of unison with unison detune

We’re all musicians here at Chicago Music Exchange and we want you to love the gear you get from us. We understand that sometimes you get a piece of gear that doesn’t work out for you. That’s why we offer an easy return policy to take the stress out of purchasing from us.

If you decide you'd like to return an item, please contact your Sales Rep, chat us, or give us a call.

If you placed your order on Amazon or eBay, we advise issuing the return request from your account on the platform of purchase - our Customer Service team will process a refund upon receipt of the item(s).

Most new items may be returned within 30 days of delivery and most vintage & used items may be returned within 3 days of delivery for a full refund, exchange, or store credit. Please pack the product safely for the journey back to us. If the product was shipped for free, the charge will be deducted from refund, unless the reason for the return is outside normal circumstances.

Please contact us as soon as possible if your order was received incorrectly, damaged, or defective. Most times we will give you an RA number (Return Authorization). Why is that number important? This will allow us to speed up the process of the return.

We reserve the right to charge a restocking fee based on the return condition. Some items we just can’t take back for returns, due to a one time function like strings or drums heads and other times it’s not sanitary to do so with microphones or harmonicas. If you aren’t sure if what you bought falls into a category like this, call us (773) 525-7773!

We strive to get your return processed quickly. Most of the time we have it done within two business days. Funds going back to credit cards usually takes two to four business days. CME strives to make sure all customers are happy with their experience. It is our priority to provide great service along with great gear. We always want to be helpful, and open to your feedback.
