A Modern Tribute to the 80s CZs, in an Ultra-Portable Format
The CZ-1 Mini reinterprets the cult sound aesthetic of 1980s Casio synths and condenses it into a compact chassis designed for today's production. It retains the characteristic phase-distortion grain, here enriched with a true 24 dB analog filter that adds body and organic musicality. The result: an instrument that respects the CZ DNA while offering today's tools for stage and studio.Who Is It For and What For?
Ideal for mobile producers, live performers, and sound designers, the CZ-1 Mini suits beginners to advanced users. Its palette covers electro, techno, synthwave, ambient, pop, and soundtrack music. In the studio, it integrates as a source of vintage colors or sonic experimentation; live, its sequencer and arpeggiator enable reactive and inspired sets.Technical specifications
