Overview

UVI CAMEO | GUIS
For us at UVI the CZ series from Casio is a longstanding favorite. When we approached the Cameo project we wanted to do something special that not only highlights the amazing sounds of these classic synths but that offers something new to our fellow CZ aficionados.
We began with a number of fully-serviced classics, including the Casio CZ1, CZ101, CZ1000, CZ2300S, CZ3000 and CZ5000, and ended up with 3 instruments—each with a different approach, unique sonic character and inspiration.

Instruments

UVI CAMEO | Cameo CZ
UVI CAMEO | Cameo CZ
Cameo CZ incorporates a huge library of custom patches designed on the original hardware. An exposition of the rich diversity of timbres possible through phase distortion synthesis, sounds range from complex digital tones to thick and remarkably analog-sounding basses and leads. Cameo CZ provides an incredibly deep sample library, including variations with and without the unique chorus effect of the flagship CZ1.
UVI CAMEO | Cameo CX
UVI CAMEO | UVI CAMEO | Cameo CX
Cameo CX is a dual-layer instrument with a large catalog of sounds and raw waveforms captured directly from the hardware instruments. Utilizing the raw waves as the basis for sound design within a modern digital environment allows a wide variety of tones covering everything from vintage-inspired to modern digital bliss. Explore the factory presets or design your own sounds from scratch with the raw waveforms.
UVI CAMEO | Cameo CM
UVI CAMEO | Cameo CM
Cameo CM reflects our own perspective on the phase distortion sound. Another dual-layer instrument, but this time utilizing the wavetable oscillator and DSP shaping tools from Falcon. Cameo CM isn't sample-based in the sense of the CZ and CX, rather it utilizes a hybrid approach designed to create wholly new and unique sounds with the capable architecture of the UVI Engine. Explore a range of high-quality presets or design your own sounds with a full complement of synthesis tools and built-in effects.

UVI Cameo | Henry Saiz
"I'm a huge fan of old Casio keyboards, especially the CZ series, so this is like a dream come true, being able to add new controls and effects to the characteristic phase distortion synthesis adds a whole new dimension to the sound. Amazing design as every UVI release, a must for any Casio lover or synth addict in general."
Henry Saiz
Spanish DJ & Producer
Cameo | GearSpace
"Cameo is capable of very fat, buzzy, nasty tones, while also being equally well adapted at creating beautiful keys and pads."
Cameo | Ask Audio
"Cameo really impressed me. There are some really great basses, leads, and pluck sounds that really stand out in a mix. These actually made it in to some real tracks of mine, I’m proud to say."
Cameo | Failed Muso
"UVI have done it again. They’ve taken an oft-neglected classic, spruced it up, done it justice and breathed new life into it."
