If there are any notes playing when you switch patches you may hear some artefacts as the various settings of the new patch are loaded.
Pressing C0 will move to the previous patch while pressing C1 will move to the next one. The patches are numbered based on their order in the patch selector menu, the first patch is always number zero.Ī quick way to audition the various patches is to use the two patch selection key switches, located at MIDI note C0 and C1 and highlighted in red on Kontakt’s on-screen keyboard. If you’re building a MIDI sequence and would like to move to a specific patch you can use continuous controller (CC) 32. Just set the value of CC 32 to the number of the patch you want. The simplest way is to click inside the patch selector and choose a patch from the dropdown list. Each group of patches are contained within their own Kontakt instrument and there are multiple ways to access the different patches in each instrument. The CZ-Alpha synth library contains 100 patches categorised as bass/leads, pads, keys, and FX. Most of the controls are self explanatory but through the rest of this guide we will look at them all in detail so that you can get the most out of the instruments. The CZ-Alpha has been designed to provide a lot of sound manipulation options with an uncluttered and easy to navigate interface. Simply extract the archive to the desired location on your computer and you’re ready to go. When you purchase the complete library you will receive one download containing everything you need. You should only ever need one instruments and one samples folder inside your main CZ-Alpha folder. If at a later date you purchase additional CZ-Alpha instruments you can combine the files in their instruments and samples folders with those from your original purchase. When you extract the archive you will have a single folder containing two sub-folders called instruments and samples. When you purchase one of the individual CZ-Alpha instruments (bass & leads, pads, keys, fx) you will receive a single RAR archive that contains all the files needed for that instrument. It’s important to read the following information to make sure the installation goes smoothly. The folder structure of the CZ-Alpha synth download will vary depending on which version of the library you’ve purchased.
With this library we captured that classic retro sound in a collection of original patches and brought them up to date by building a Kontakt instrument around them. The Casio CZ-101, released in 1984, was the first phase distortion synthesizer of the CZ line and one of the first low cost programmable polyphonic synthesizers available. The CZ-Alpha library contains 100 original patches in 4 Kontakt instruments. Each patch was created on a classic Casio CZ-101 synthesizer.
