BrettM Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 File Name: CZ WaveformsFile Submitter: Brett MFile Submitted: 14 Oct 2014File Category: XW-SynthsI've got a pretty good idea of what square, saw and sine waves look like, but I've always wondered about the CZ waveforms in the solo synth; so I recorded a brief sample of each and took a screen shot of them in Audacity. Many of them seem a lot more complex compared to the standard synth waves, so not sure how I will use them other than choosing them for their raw sound. I would be interested in other people's observations and comments. Note that they are not all shown at the same scale.Click here to download this file 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrettM Posted October 18, 2014 Author Share Posted October 18, 2014 I have read that the CZ double sine wave is good for open filter analogue synth sounds and organ tones. Also that the saw pulse is a sort of mellower sounding saw wave. The reso waves were designed to simulate a filter sweep using the "digitally controlled waveshaper" (DCW) which does the phase distortion instead of via a resonant filter which was not present in the CZs. Not sure how these would be used in an XW which has a filter instead of a DCW. Has anyone tried to recreate some of the CZ patches on an XW?
