abacab Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 I have the Virtual CZ, as well as a real one that I bought back in the 80's. The virtual sound kicks the same butt... ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My CZ-1 and CZ-3000 are in the attic gathering dust...well, their cases are! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was so cute with its mini keys but I got rid of it a long time ago........ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Later on I wished that I had gotten a higher end CZ model. But with the Virtual CZ, you can use any controller, and programming is now much easier than using the front panel and tiny LCD on the hardware.

locrian Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Virtual CZ sounds great, but Drumazon is disappointing (not one of D16's better plugins). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was OK for a freebie 909 emulator. The new Audiokit IOS one looks killer though and on £($) 2.99 intro if you are into iPad music apps.

Yes, I know what you mean but I persevered and then realised that each preset had a number of patterns. There's a knob (ooer :) bottom left somewhere (sorry not near it at the moment) that switches between each pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what I've not found is a way to just trigger single notes. I bought it because I liked the sound of the some of the kicks on the demo video and was planning to use it as a quick-and-dirty drum augmentation plugin. Oh well...

The lowest note ( C1?) on my 61 key controller played the kick drum from recollection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locrian Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Actually I was so desperate that I read (the very blurry) manual where I discovered that there are 'internal' and 'external' modes. The latter puts the plugin into a state where you can play individual notes from a controller. To get to the external mode you have to click the microscopic "Int Seq" button off. Sure, that was obvious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
