Phase distortion synthesis Casio CZ series instruments have long been one of our favorites at UVI. When we thought about Project Cameo, we wanted to create something special that would not only highlight the incredible sounds of these classic synths, but also bring something new to fans of the legendary CZ series.
We began this project by sampling classic instruments including the Casio CZ1, CZ101, CZ1000, CZ2300S, CZ3000 and CZ5000 to create three instruments – each with their own approach, unique sonic character and inspiration.
Whether you’re a fan of classic ’80s synth sounds, the power of phase distortion, or just looking to add to your arsenal of sounds, Cameo contains many sonic treasures with the unique character of some of our favorite synths.
To work with the bank, you need the popular UVI Falcon or the popular UVI Workstation

3 instruments inspired by the distinctive sound of phase distortion synthesis
Cameo CZ includes an extensive bank of custom patches based on the original instrument. This collection showcases the wide variety of tones that can be achieved using phase distortion synthesis, from complex digital tones to tight bass and analog-style solos. The Cameo CZ includes an incredible library of sound samples, including variations with or without the flagship CZ1’s unique Chorus effect.
Cameo CX is a dual-layer instrument with an extensive catalog of raw sounds and waveforms captured directly from the original instruments. Use raw waves as the basis of your sound design in today’s digital environment. The result is a huge variety of sounds, from vintage creations to the latest electronic trends. Explore the provided presets or create your own sounds using raw signals.
Cameo CM illustrates our own vision of phase-distorted audio. Another two-layer instrument, this time using a Falcon wavetable generator and DSP tools. Unlike Cameo CZ and CX, Cameo CM is not based on pure audio sampling, but uses a hybrid approach to create entirely new tones thanks to the power of the UVI Engine. Explore the selection of provided presets or create your own sounds using the arsenal of built-in synthesis tools and effects.
