CZ-3000 by Cluster Sound
CZ-3000 is a multi-sample synth pack based on the Casio CZ-3000, the powerful phase distortion synth from the mid ’80s. A bold machine with lot of thickness and character, the digital synth with a weird analog soul.
The CZ-3000 is a phase distortion synthesizers produced by Casio in the mid ’80s. The Phase Distortion is basically a special case of the more complex FM synthesis used by Yamaha in their ‘FM’ synths. But this technique (used to avoid a patent infringement) implemented also a more complex waveshape of the modulator and other improvements that confer to the CZ-3000 a weird analogue feel but still in line with the classic ’80s sound. A very unique synth suitable for an extremely wide range of music styles.
The Cosmo Synthesizer
The CZ-3000 was nicknamed “Cosmo Synthesizer” because of its evolving “space pads” but it’s actually a powerful and flexible synth with unique and extremely wider sonic possibilities. Thanks to its stunning 8-stage envelopes, the two Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS) oscillators with 8 waveforms and the amazing DCW (Digitally Controlled Wave) pseudo low-pass filter, this retro-digital beast can easily generate filthy electric guitars, rich brasses, fat analog-like basses, gorgeous organs, electronic percs, synth stabs and much more.

Important Information
Initial Release – April 2025
Our Products are generally provided as Zip file downloads which in all cases will need to be extracted and saved to your hard drive prior to installation. Details on the different file type provided and what to do with them are below.
.alp Files: These are Ableton Live Packs and will either install directly into the Packs Section of the browser of Ableton Live or ask you to save them to your hard drive. For packs that install to the library, when you double click on them you will see a pop up window asking you to confirm that installation is ok as the files are described as “Legacy”. This is fine and you are ok to proceed, the packs are created using the format for an earlier version of Live and so remain compatible with the current version.
.amxd files: These are individual MaxforLive Devices and can be stored anywhere on your hard drive. We’d advise creating a folder for them and then adding that folder as a location within the Places section of Lives Browser.
