CZ V

Synthesizer
Arturia

CZ V is Arturia's virtual recreation of Casio's Phase Distortion synthesis from the 1980s, featuring two independent sound generators with dynamic waveform morphing via Digitally Controlled Waves (DCW). It combines classic CZ synthesis with modern conveniences like up to 32-voice polyphony, a 16-by-16 modulation matrix, multiple envelope types, and studio-quality effects, making it an accessible yet powerful tool for creating both vintage and contemporary synthesizer sounds.
