part1sts Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Is the Z1 really that amazing? I can't find one to play. Together we stand, Divided we fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Fiala Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 I have a Z1 with the EX board. Good, yes. Amazing, no. Pretty darn good at some things, though. I would not consider it for my main board, though. It's a decent "upper rack" synth, if you know what I mean, considering its age. Playing horns / brass with the modelling algorhythms and the XY pad is pretty cool....you can get some of the most realistic horns I've heard out of a synth. Pianos, EP's, organs - reasonable, but not stellar. I don't use the Z1 for these. Pure "analogue-ish" synth stuff - quite good. Does that help? Tom F. "It is what it is."

orangefunk Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Agreee.. as an only sytnth its too limiting.. as a synth to integrate ito a setup then it comes into its own.. The Z1 pad sounds are pretty cool.. you can hear them in the following track I did. Travels Hers a random smattering of sounds I did a while back 1-2 years ago.. also the track is a Jamey Aebersold record and I soloed over it with the Z1. I should add that its not a composition just me farting around. Also some of the sounds I programmed myself (the Solina in particular) Z1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
