The is a software synthesizer that emulates the classic Casio CZ series, particularly the CZ-101 and CZ-1000, known for their unique Phase Distortion (PD) synthesis . Unlike Yamaha's FM synthesis, PD morphs sine waves into more complex shapes like saws or squares, offering a sound that sits comfortably between digital precision and analog warmth. Key Features and Modern Enhancements
: Users are no longer restricted to the eight original waveforms; you can now draw your own custom waveforms.
: Looping envelopes provide rhythmic possibilities not present in the 80s.
