Vocal Synthesis
The CT-S1000V comes loaded with a revolutionary vocal synthesis technology that lets your keyboard sing to any lyrics you want to punch into it. Before you get too excited it’s important to note that this is in a vocodering, electronic style rather than Adele or our dear departed Meatloaf (RIP). But even so you can type lyrics into an iOS or Android app and then the keyboard will synthesise them into speech that you can play as phrases or split into syllables across notes. You can literally play a vocal line on this keyboard.

Nice. Will probably get this.

 

i'm also an early casio fan and would be interested too... but i couldn't find a price for it... will be announced soon for sure

 

Sounds cool! I'm also a CASIO junkie from way back. I had all the early boards at one point or another.
Still have an MT-240 and they'll have to pry my CT-6000 from my cold dead hands......LOL!!

 

Believe me when I say that I'm also a Casio junkie ... here's a little impression from my studio

 

Around 500 euros.

 

Any software or vst that do the same?

 

maybe the member BEAT16 can answer this question .... he knows the area quite well .... at least that's my impression

 

Isn't Roland V-Synth more powerful than this? V-Synth is one of my wishes to have one day.

 

news from Roland today
Roland has updated their FANTOM workstation to v3.0 to support the EXM007 n/zyne Model Expansion all-new synthesizer engine.

 

Hello Deceptive, Hello Kakita, not the same but similar. Have fun with it !

Plugin Boutique present VirtualCZ, inspired by an iconic series of digital synthesizers made in the 1980s.

Many people fondly remember the CZ synths and they have become retro-classics that are highly sought after, having been used on countless techno, house, rave and synth-pop records in the late 80s and early 90s.

Many artists still use the CZ today for its unique sounds, including great pads and synth strings, screaming leads, big basses, weird FX, metallic percussion and above all Rave Organs.

Like many timeless synths, it has a unique sonic quality and it will fill a hole in many people's synth arsenal.

About the Synth

Many people fondly remember the CZ synths and they have become retro-classics that are highly sought after, having been used on countless techno, house, rave and synth-pop records in the late 80s and early 90s.
Many artists still use the CZ today for its unique sounds, including great pads and synth strings, screaming leads, big basses, weird FX, metallic percussion and above all RAVE ORGANS. Like many timeless synths, it has a unique sonic quality and will be a beneficial addition to anyone's synth collection.

For the First Time User: Faithful Emulation and Great New Sounds

If you are new to the CZ you'll find that VirtualCZ delivers the same sound quality as its hardware predecessor, along with new features that bring its sound up to date.

• As with its hardware inspiration, VirtualCZ uses Phase Distortion, which is similar to FM Synthesis but easier to program.
• Big stereo UNISON sounds (new feature!) - great for modern synth stabs.
• Familiar ADSR envelopes (or switch to 8 Stage MSEG for the purists!)
• 200 quality presets featuring both retro and modern sounds.

For the Experienced User: Amazing New Features with a Modern Workflow

If you are familiar with the CZ synths, we think you will find VirtualCZ faithfully emulates the sound of the hardware in both sound and feel, also offering some great new features.

• VirtualCZ mirrors the synthesis architecture of the original.
• All key synthesis functions are on the front panel, with graphic envelope displays - no more menus!
• It can load and transmit CZ patches (it functions as a sysex editor for the hardware).

Oh, I mean if is there any software that do the same in terms of that "revolutionary vocal synthesis technology that lets your keyboard sing any lyrics you want to punch into it"

 

that was my fear , that you mean the revolutionary vocal synthesis and not the sound production itself. Sorry I can't help :-(
