Casiotone 1000P

8-Polyphonic Additive Synthesizer.

Settings

  • 10 harmonics settings

  • 10 envelope patterns

  • 10 "Modulations" that add special effects

Parameters

Feet

There are 10 "Feet" types:

  • Organ1

  • Organ2

  • Tibia

  • Full tibias

  • Brass

  • Reed

  • Flute

  • Piccolo

  • Chime

  • Piano

Organ1 and Organ2 has the same harmonic contents, but sounds different. It seems that Casiotone 1000P can control the volume of each harmonics.

Envelope

10 ADSR envelope patterns can be selected.

Modulation

There are 10 "Modulation" types:

  • Wah

  • Wait

  • Attack 5+1/3'

  • Attack 4'

  • Delayed attack

  • Long sustain

  • Treble

  • Bass

  • Metallic sound

  • Mod. Free

Wah and Wait works like a filter by delaying the attack time of the higher harmonics.

Attack Modulation adds percussions like Organs.

Treble and Bass work like EQ by boosting high/low harmonics.

Metallic sound omits the basic harmonics. It leaves higher harmonics and creates inharmonic content.

Other features

Effect

There are 4 "Effect" types:

  • Vibrato

  • Delayed vibrato

  • Heavy vibrato

  • Sustain

Heavy vibrato adds 7th trill, and Sustain makes the release segment longer. The vibrato LFO is a single-trigger one, that is, works at once for all the keys played.

Split

Casiotone 1000P can split the keyboard in two. Lower tone can be used for the arpeggiator. There's no layering.

Arpeggiator

The arpeggiator uses Up/Down pattern and user-programmable pattern. 16-step pattern can be programmed.
