Simone Sedda

Casio DZ-1  - Midi Drum Translator (1986)

Rare vintage Audio/Microphone to MIDI convertor: Connect up to 9 microphones, foot pedals, piezo elements, but also other things that output low level signals (like guitars), and other instruments or devices (at low level) to convert your playing to MIDI signals. Many possibilities for creating triggering drum or other sounds out of almost anything!

This electronic drum unit transforms incoming trigger piezo impulses from pads to Midi note messages. DZ1 is Part of the Casio electronic drum family including the Rz-1 and Sz-1.
Interface main panel features 19 push buttons and 9 sliders for fine sensibility adjust and master potentiometer for global sensibility.

Rear pannel connections:
- Midi Out x2
- total sensitivity pot
- 9 input switch 
- switch input for performance select 

Power supply (included) is a 9V with negative in center polarity.

FUNCTIONS:  incoming analog trigger signals are translated to Midi notes with various velocities levels(!) Each trigger channel has a slider for fine sensibility amount.

TIP: the preview buttons allow you to check the corresponding Midi OUT note.

CONNECTIONS:

- 9 trigger inputs for bass drum, snare drum, tom 1/ 2/ 3, hihat, ride and crash
- 2 Midi outputs sending the same signal (handy if you want to split the sounds to 2 Midi modules)
- 4 inputs for system recall: just plug a pedal to recall one of your trigger setup.
The user interface may look very simple but it covers all the needs for this kind of job: the buttons change the note destination using the Midi 1-88 note system. The "channel" function defines the Midi channel output, in order to route the signal to different modules or to a single multitimbral machine. 

In great optical and perfect working condition. An universal power supply is included. Also works on batteries!
