The Sound That Defined a Generation

Before the supercars and superstar DJs, before the festival circuits and streaming algorithms, there was the Casio CZ101—the £99 synthesiser that accidentally soundtracked Britain's electronic music revolution. Released in 1984, this unassuming dirty grey/green box became the sonic cornerstone of UK rave culture, its legendary "Organ" preset powering countless warehouse anthems from Birmingham's Digbeth scene to Manchester's Haçienda dancefloor.

Casio CZ101 Organ (The Rave Machine) isn't just another preset pack—it's a meticulously crafted heritage project that captures the exact Phase Distortion characteristics that made this affordable synthesiser as culturally significant as the TB-303.

Authentic Hardware Recreation Through Modern Mastery

The foundation of this collection begins with a pristine 1984 Casio CZ101 (serial verification available), sampled through a period-appropriate studio chain at 24-bit/48kHz resolution. Unlike the lo-fi samples that populated Akai samplers in the 1990s, we've captured the full dynamic range and harmonic complexity of the original hardware. Every Phase Distortion artifact, every analogue-like behaviour that made producers fall in love with this gateway synthesiser has been preserved and enhanced.

Using Serum 2's brand new multi-sample engine, the included presets don't merely imitate—they enhance the original behaviour with Serum's FM and wavetable capabilities. Each preset features velocity-sensitive dynamics that respond naturally to your playing style, something the original box didn't do! Additional macro controls for real-time manipulation, include, Detune, Spatial Fx, Saturation and more.

Complete Creative Control with Heritage Authenticity

This comprehensive package delivers premium content organised for professional workflow efficiency. The twelve Serum 2 presets span from the classic "dirty organ" stab to atmospheric pads and percussive textures, each maintaining the distinctive CZ101 character while offering contemporary controllability. Complementing the presets is an extensive MIDI file collection featuring classic rave chord progressions and the exact harmonic sequences that defined tracks by Cappella, Outhere Brothers, and countless underground anthems.

Heritage Authenticity

Every sample sourced from an original CZ101 unit, complete with the subtle timing variations and harmonic quirks that digital sampling purists will recognise. We've preserved the character that made these sounds essential to UK electronic music's DNA.

Modern Workflow Integration

Pre-mapped for Serum 2 with intelligent macro assignments, allowing you to sculpt these vintage tones with contemporary precision. Transform classic organ stabs into evolving soundscapes or layer them beneath modern basslines—the possibilities honour both past and future.

Cultural Significance

The CZ101 organ was more than just a sound—it was an attitude. These were the tones of rebellion against expensive studio gear, of bedroom producers creating magic with affordable technology. Each preset carries that spirit of innovation and accessibility that defined UK dance music culture.

Scene Credibility and Artist Endorsement

The CZ101's cultural credentials are unimpeachable. Vince Clarke of Erasure owned multiple units, utilising them throughout his influential career. The "dirty organ" sound appears in genre-defining tracks including Pizzaman's "Sex On The Streets," the Outhere Brothers' "La La La Hey Hey," and Cappella's "I Need Your Love." This wasn't just a hobbyist instrument—it was the secret weapon that powered commercial dance hits while remaining accessible to underground producers operating on minimal budgets.

Our recreation process involved consultation with original rave generation producers who understand the cultural weight of preserving this sound exactly as it powered the UK's electronic music revolution. Every preset has been tested in real-world production scenarios, ensuring these sounds integrate seamlessly into contemporary DAW environments while maintaining their vintage authenticity.
