Waveform Wizardry and Hands-On Control

The CZ-1 Mini's unique phase-distortion synthesis pays homage to iconic tone generation, allowing you to sculpt kaleidoscopic arrays of distinctive harmonics and timbres. Its 3-voice, 2-DCO hybrid architecture features 8 evocative waveforms and a 12-phase distortion engine, unlocking otherworldly realms of sound design. Forget menu diving; the CZ-1 Mini provides direct access to sound shaping with a crisp OLED display, dedicated filter, and modulation controls, ensuring your workflow remains fluid and creative.

Inspiring Tools for Endless Ideas

Keep your creativity flowing with a suite of inspiring tools. The CZ-1 Mini includes a punchy 16-step sequencer and a 3-pattern arpeggiator to infuse your progressions with motion and dynamism. An analog 24dB low-pass filter and studio-grade Chorus effect offer immense depth and sound-shaping opportunities, allowing you to explore textures from warm pads to edgy leads. With an 8-stage envelope generator, dual LFOs, and a 4-shape Vibrato suite, expansive degrees of dynamism are always on tap.

Designed for Portability and Seamless Integration

The Behringer CZ-1 Mini is built for inspiration that strikes anywhere. Its streamlined plug-and-play design features a USB-C port for both bus power and bidirectional MIDI, alongside a 5-pin MIDI input and 3.5mm Sync input for effortless interoperative integration. Weighing less than one pound, this ferocious, low-footprint fire-starter slots effortlessly into your backpack. The 27 capacitive touch keys not only augment expressive control but also enhance durability by reducing moving parts, making it an uncompromising, on-the-go instrument. Built-in compatibility with SysEx MIDI files also makes legacy inclusions of original CZ-style patches a breeze, and its 16-program storage capacity lets you effortlessly save and recall your essential synth configurations.
