   Consume it
                   Dissect it

                                    Give it a twist

                                                        Spit it back out


         This song has been made entirely with sounds from my old Casio
        CZ-101 phase distortion synthesizer. The samples were originally
        sampled in CD quality (16-bit 44.1kHz), but then resampled and 
        converted into 8 bits to give the song at least a little more 
        reasonable size. Main thanks for the nice sample quality goes to
        the Spirit Folio Notepad micro mixer I bought a while back; it
        gives excellent results with virtually no noise - provided you
        don't use the internal gain amplifier. :)

         This kind of music, however, is completely beyond the
        capabilities of the CZ-101, as it has only eight oscillators,
        giving only 4-note polyphony in double, and 8-note polyphony in
        single oscillator mode, not to mention it is a mono synth. This
        is where the tracker and a sound card or a sampler come in
        handy. Almost professional quality music can be produced this
        way - again, provided the tracker is good enough. :)






         Any guesses how the Rotox sound was made? Give up? Scroll
        down to see. :)
















































































         Give up? The sound was made out of the 'Whistle' (!) found
        as a preset in CZ-101. It was switched from single-oscillator 
        mode to double, added 1% phase detuning, then played in 
        CG chord through the mixer with heavy overdrive. A crossfade
        was added with the sampling program to give it a good-sounding
        loop without needing to sample the entire phase 'wavelength'
        (which would have made the sample all too long). Ping-pong
        loop was not used, as when the waveform 'mirrors', it in most
        cases creates an audible click.
         So this is what a whistle can be made to sound like. :)

         The rest of the sounds have been programmed manually, either
        from scratch, or basing on the presets found in the CZ-101.
