Casio Cosmosunthesizer CZ-3000 User manual

OPERATION MANUAL
MANUAL DE OPERACION

Thank you for purchasing the Casio CZ-3000. The CZ-3000 is atotally digital
synthesizer under LSI (large scale integrated circuit) control, and is designed
using the same principles that apply to analog synthesizers, thus eliminating the
frequently heard complaint about digital synthesizers that they are too complex.
This makes the unit actually ahybrid that combines the operational ease of an
analog synthesizer with the tonal quality of adigital model.
3Modes of the CZ-3000 ~\
1NORMAL MODE
•Play of preset timbres.
•Modification of timbre data recalled From memory.
•Creation of new sounds.
•Application of various effects to timbres,
•Saving of timbres created to built-in memory or optional RAM cartridge

•Independent setting of each timbre level.
3KEY SPLIT MODE
•Splitting of the keyboard into UPPER and LOWER portions for independent
