Software Features and Description

1. One Key Follow feature (DCW1/DCW2) controls waveforms based on the upper and lower extent of the keyboard's register while the other Key Follow feature (DCA1/DCA2) controls the envelope duration based on the keyboard's register.

2. You can play with a wide range of sounds based on eight basic waveforms and 28 combinations of those basic waveforms—for a total of 36 types of waveforms.

3. Phase Distortion (PD) works by distorting a sine wave when it is read so that various different waveforms are produced.At the time, it was a ground-breaking system for generating waveforms other than simple sine waves.

4. Featuring a built-in 4-part PD (phase distortion) sound source, its 36 waveforms are capable of generating an extensive and diverse range of sounds.

5. In the CZ series, 8 basic waveforms were generated by the PD sound source, with pairs of those 8 waveforms cascaded to provide a total of 33 waveforms.

6. Using 2 DCOs allowed the use of detuning to fine-tune the pitch shift in the two systems to within ±4 octaves, which is useful not only in creating a chorus effect, but also for producing sounds with specific harmonics emphasized.

7. 8 basic waveforms can be selected for each of the 2 sound sources.

8. Ring modulation can be used to produce metallic tones that include non-integer harmonics, while noise modulation is effective in creating percussion-like sounds.

9. Parameters to set basic waveforms.

10. An envelope generator is provided for each DCO, DCW and DCA core block in the two systems, which makes it possible to vary the tuning, tones and volume over time.

11. CZ-series synthesizers allowed users to choose from 4 types of line output (1, 2, 1+2 or 1+1) depending on the purpose.

Great emulation of an often overlooked classic synth

By Nitpick Pete (Pcmac user)

I had a the app-1000 back in the day. Really liked the custom sounds that could be made with it, but programming was rather tedious. This app makes programming fun and adds some great internal effects. Having a blast in nostalgia-land recreating those great old noises. Now for the quibbles: I've only been noodling around for a couple of hours so I'm sure there's more to learn and explore, however the latency with a MIDI controller is bugging me. There does not seem to be a way to adjust it. The app also seems to only have four notes of polyphony when utilizing both oscillators. Mono mode is cool, though. CPU is easily maxed out with chords on sounds that utilize all of the internal effects which introduces audio drop-out and ugly digital distortion. Really wishing for MIDI learn so those awesome envelopes could be controlled easier with perhaps some more accuracy. Still a great, unique sounding synth that brings back fond memories. Glad I got it on sale as it is still pricey for some of the limitations as synth-apps go. Updates seem to have slowed to few and far apart, so it is likely my wishlist will go unfulfilled. Two stars off as it is an average UI for a premium price. Full price would have ticked me off with the short falls.
One of the better iPad synths

By irSizone (Pcmac user)

this app is a recreation of the Casio the app synth engine, popular during the mid '80s. The app sounds great, it's very faithful to the original hardware (though it is less....ummmm...muddy or noisy). It's also -much- easier and faster to patch than the original hardware and has the benefit of basically unlimited save slots. The app also has a rather nice feature of being 4 part polytimblre (it can produce 4 different tones, not just pitches, on 4 different midi channels or using the built in virtual keyboards). The interface also looks nice and is easy to get around. As of the latest release Casio patched in background audio. This is fast becoming my favorite iOS synth between the ease of patching, the far out sounds and the polytimbrlety. The price may seem a bit high, but it's worth it for the quality of the product. The only other things I could really hope for would be support for Scala tuning files, the ability to work with microtonal scales and support for the "hidden" waveforms that could be accessed on hardware PD synths via sysex. In a sense, the "hidden" waveforms are already partially supported as it is possible to select two resonant waveforms for the same voice. It's nice to see Casio doing good work for musicians again, even if it is in the form of a recreation. Believe it or not, they were an extremely innovative in synth design until they closed their pro audio division.
Pretty decent but overpriced

By Krszytoff (Pcmac user)

I've owned a CZ101 since 1986. I love this synth but was always irritated at the flawed hardware design where the internal memory always got "buggy" if you didn't turn the unit on every single day. After getting my iPad and seeing this app I was very excited that I might be able to replace using my hardware the app. First of all, $20 is way too much for this app when you can get Waldorf's Nave for the same price, and Thor & iProphet for even less. That being said, I partially disagree with the other review stating this is not a faithful reproduction of the original the app. I pulled out my old data sheets & was able to create some of my old favorite patches pretty accurately. However it was very tricky since you have to draw the waveforms instead of programming them. This does make it more difficult to replicate. One does need a great deal of patience to program this app, so that's something to consider if you plan to purchase. Additionally, the other reviewer was correct in citing issues with crashing. For me this seems to happen most during editing/creating new patches. Definitely something Casio needs to address. If it weren't for the aforementioned criticisms, I would have given 5 stars. Despite this I'm quite pleased with this app overall.
Love the CZ sound, but will be better when Casio can work out some bugs

By Chinchilla Wafers (Pcmac user)

Love the ideas behind this app, and the Casio tone. Have a the app 101, and this is a great homage to that era in synthesis and the phase distortion sound. It is fantastic to be able to edit the 8(!) step envelopes with fingers rather than having to painfully push in the values with the data buttons, like on the original. I also love that they made it 4 the app's in one, multi-timbral. Being able to play along with a song is cute, as is being able to play with a friend. The MIDI worked the second I plugged a keyboard in, fantastic. I like the faithfulness to the original didn't stop them from adding some basic effects. At this point in the app's development it is very unstable (on iPad Air, iOS 8.3) however, when editing and saving your own sounds, particularly in the envelope section. I made a basic square wave sound to save as a starting point for other sounds in the future, and it either crashes most of the time when I try to load the sound, or when I try to open an envelope window. In addition, some of the envelope controls don't act the way they should, sometimes the envelope won't affect the sound the way it should, like it gets stuck.
