3.1.6. Octave
Click and drag on this control to shift the pitch of the entire instrument by octaves (for
example, to make a middle C sound as a low C). Concert pitch is at the 12 o'clock position.
Turn it counter-clockwise to shift the instrument down one or two octaves, or clockwise to
shift it up one or two octaves.
Double-click on the control to set the octave to the normal, middle position (0).
3.1.7. Unison Detune
This control works in conjunction with the Unison field in the lower toolbar. The CZ V has
the capability of stacking additional copies of the sound to make a fatter sound, like voice
doubling. When the
Unison
toolbar field is set between 2 and 8, the
Unison Detune
knob
detunes these voice copies from each other and pans each voice across the stereo output.
See Unison [p.25] for more detail.

: If
Unison
is set at 1, the
Unison Detune
knob has no effect.
3.1.8. Waveform and Envelope illustration
To the right of the UNISON DETUNE knob are images of the eight stock waveforms in the
original Casio instruments. To the right of those is an illustration of the stages of the original
Casio envelope. These are just images from the CZ-101's top panel, they are not controls.
3.2. Central programming tabs
If the Advanced view mode is turned on, just under the Arturia CZ V title bar, you'll see four
tabs labeled SYNTHESIS, ENVELOPES, MODULATIONS, and FX. You could think of the process
of making a new sound in the CZ as moving from left to right.
You start with SYNTHESIS, the most important window in the software. Here you select
the basic waveforms that actually produce the sound, and the balance between sound
generators. The synthesis window also includes graphic displays of the envelopes, which
are shown in greater detail on the next tab. Chapter 4, Synthesis [p.29] covers the synthesis
tab in detail.
The waveforms then get processed through ENVELOPES that determine the dynamic
character of the sound: how they attack, how their tone changes over time as you hold the
key, how loud they are as you hold the key, and how they fade out and/or change tone after
you release the key. They contain the sound the way a paper envelope contains a letter. See
Chapter 5 [p.39] for more detail about envelopes.
In MODULATIONS, you can change the pitch and timbre of the sound by assigning a
modulation source to any of 51 different destinations inside the CZ V. Modulation sources
can be hardware controllers such as a pitch bend wheel, modulation wheel, key velocity
and aftertouch; or internal sources such as low-frequency oscillators (LFOs) and envelopes.
Any of these sources can be routed to affect parameters like vibrato depth, levels, the speed
and level of envelope stages, etc. Chapter 6 [p.55] covers the modulations tab.
