The CZ-1000 was my first digital synth (and my first poly). I loved it at the time. Gonna try out this plug-in, thanks for this video. For anyone who doesn't know, the CZ-1000 was the same as the well-known CZ-101 except that it had a full-size 49 key keybed.
Thanks, this was interesting - and the complexity of the plugin surprised me! I had a CZ-101 back in 1986, but I sold it soon afterwards so I don't have clear memories of most of its operation. It looks as though Arturia have made some really good design improvements for the soft version here. My approach to Ring Modulators is different, by the way: rather than changing waveforms to complex ones, I think it's more musically useful to use simpler waveforms and play with the pitches/intervals. Bell sounds with enharmonic overtones are often made this way, and also very cool distortion effects (think about the duophonic ARP Odyssey ring mod sound).
Yeah, Arturia always expands it to a point is their own version of a synth. The ring modulation it's a taste thing, I like to offset them, no right or wrong there :)

Phase Distortion > FM Synthesis
15:52 Is this a display bug, or does that envelope genuinely go backwards in time? :D
hahaha. ...it might be. That would be a new type of synthesis. BIT synths.. ( back in time ) hahah
