CASIO CZ-1000 - Vintage Phase Distortion Synthesizer (1980s)

Up for sale is a wonderfully preserved CASIO CZ-1000, a legendary 1980s programmable digital synthesizer featuring Casio's unique Phase Distortion (PD) synthesis.

Essentially the full-sized, standard-key sibling to the famous compact CZ-101, the CZ-1000 delivers that classic, gritty-yet-warm 80s digital crunch. It is incredibly well-regarded for producing punchy basslines, crisp metallic bells, unique lo-fi pads, and sci-fi sound effects that can compete with FM synthesis but with much more intuitive programming dynamics.

✅ Condition Details

• Functionality: Fully tested and 100% functional. All 49 keys trigger perfectly, the LCD screen is clear with no missing segments, and all buttons/sliders respond accurately.
