The Casio CZ-1 was the top of the Casio’s CZ synthesizer line. The CZ series were a family of low-cost phase distortion synthesizers produced by Casio mid-1980s.

The CZ-1 synthesizer offered the classic CZ sound, but also featured stored splits and layers , velocity and aftertouch sensitivity. The CZ-1 also featured a backlit display - an improvement over the rest of the series.

There were eight models of CZ synthesizers released:

  • CZ-101
  • CZ-230S
  • CZ-1000
  • CZ-2000S
  • CZ-2600S
  • CZ-3000
  • CZ-5000
  • CZ-1

Additionally the home-keyboard model CT-6500 used 48 phase-distortion presets from the CZ line.

The CZ series were flexible synthesizers, and their price made programmable synthesizers affordable.
