Algorithms

15 phase distortion algorithms: 1 CZ-101 legacy + 14 original Cosmo warp algorithms.

INFO

The CZ-101 legacy algorithms are provided for compatibility with Casio CZ-101 SysEx imports. The Cosmo original algorithms extend far beyond what the original hardware could do.

CZ-101 Legacy

  • CZ Saw Legacy -- Classic bright sawtooth. Waveform 1/2 options, Window control.
  • CZ Square Legacy -- Hollow, reedy square wave.
  • CZ Pulse Legacy -- Narrower than saw, buzzy. Brass-like.
  • CZ Double Sine Legacy -- Soft, rounded. Two sine-like components.
  • CZ Saw Pulse Legacy -- Saw brightness with pulse-width character.
  • CZ Reso 1-3 Legacy -- Resonant, metallic tones with window function.
