The Casio CZ-5000, released in 1985, is a rare and powerful digital synthesizer that combines Casio's innovative Phase Distortion synthesis with an integrated 8-track sequencer. This model stands out in the CZ series for its advanced features and versatility. Key highlights include:

• Phase Distortion Synthesis: the CZ-5000 utilizes Casio's unique Phase Distortion technology, offering a distinctive sound palette that ranges from warm analog-like tones to sharp digital timbres.
• Integrated 8-Track Sequencer: one of the standout features of the CZ-5000 is its built-in sequencer, allowing for the creation and playback of complex compositions directly from the keyboard. This sequencer supports both real-time and step-time recording, providing flexibility for various musical styles and arrangements.
• 16-Voice Polyphony: with 16-note polyphony, the CZ-5000 enables rich, layered sounds and complex chord structures without note drop-out : normal mode, solo mode, tone mix (2 different tones at the same time), key split (2 tones in 2 different zone of the keyboard!).
• 61 Full-Size Keys: the keyboard features five octaves of full-sized keys, providing a comfortable playing experience suitable for both studio and live performances ; and with portamento and glide effects.
• Stereo Chorus Effect: an onboard real analog stereo chorus effect enhances the depth and width of the sound, adding richness to the tones produced.

The CZ-5000's combination of advanced synthesis capabilities and a robust sequencer makes it a valuable instrument for musicians seeking both creative flexibility and classic digital sounds.
