*Welcome to Kasio by Oli Larkin.*

Oli Larkin used Max for Live to make /Kasio,/ a software version of one of his favorite vintage digital synths

*About Kasio*
Kasio.tif
Like the CZ-series synths, Kasio uses Phase Distortion synthesis - in which the phase of a sine wave is modified to produce new waveforms. Kasio is great for plastic basses, sharp bell-like timbres and shimmering resonant pads. Using two CZ-style oscillators, ring modulation, three Envelope Generators and an LFO, a wide variety of timbres are possible. Kasio serves to bring the classic sounds of Phase Distortion to all Max for Live users.

*Using Kasio*
Kasio comes with 32 presets inspired by the original CZ-synths. All controls are laid out on one easy-to-use panel for instant tweaking. Select from eight CZ waveforms for each oscillator in the *Wave* section. Different waveforms can be set for each alternating cycle; the second oscillator can also be detuned and mixed as a ring modulator signal. The *AMP EG, DCW EG* and *PITCH EG* sections are envelope generators that control amplitude, DCW (digitally controlled wave-shaping, which varies the amount of phase distortion) and pitch. Vibrato is controlled via the *LFO* section.
