Behringer CZ-1 Mini Hybrid Phase Distortion Synthesizer

In Behringer’s ongoing quest to bring inventive and inspiring sound-design capabilities to the masses, a voltaic synthesizer emerges that has Music Bliss on-the-go producers enamored by its latent potential — enter, the CZ-1 Mini. This hybrid phase-distortion synthesizer fuses titanic timbral-contouring tools with a portability-minded package, equally suited for mid-commute compositions, impromptu jam sessions, serious studio sound, onstage antics, and anywhere else the sonic winds take you. Its 3-voice, 2-DCO (digitally controlled oscillator) hybrid architecture includes a 16-step sequencer, 3-pattern arpeggiator, and an octet of evocative basic-to-Byzantine waveforms, while a true-analog lowpass filter and studio-grade Chorus effect give you a prismatic palette of sonic sculpting and tenacious texturization. From scorching leads and explosive arpeggios to thundering grooves and pulse-pounding progressions, the Behringer CZ-1 Mini ditches the menu diving for a workflow-first interface, allowing you to focus on what matters most: working at the speed of your creativity.
