Casio CZ-1 Phase Distortion Synthesizer – Vintage Flagship Model – Fully Functional

Renowned for its unique Phase Distortion synthesis engine, the CZ-1 delivers everything from warm analog-style pads and powerful basses to complex evolving textures and cutting leads.

The CZ-1 features an expressive 61-key velocity- and aftertouch-sensitive keyboard, extensive sound design capabilities, multi-stage envelopes, and comprehensive MIDI implementation. Its distinctive sound and deep programming options have made it a sought-after instrument among collectors, synthesizer enthusiasts, and recording musicians.

Condition:

This unit is fully functional and has been tested to ensure proper operation. All keys, buttons, sliders, and controls respond correctly.

Rusting can be seen on the back metal plate (see images); however this does not affect functionality. Internal components show no age and are in perfect condition - I would know, I took the whole thing apart. :)
