After Digital Impact, it’s time to add the Steinberg Soundworks FZ-1 sample editor to our archive page.
Soundworks FZ-1 is a sample editor for the Casio FZ-1 and FZ-10M, running on Atari ST. It was created and commercialized in 1988.
As the developer of this software, I plan to release an unprotected version, but I first need legal permission from the former publisher Steinberg to do that.
Wow it´d be great to use this soft with my FZ1 on an Atari emulator. A dream. Any projection on when it´ll be available unlocked?
@JavierZ Unfortunately I have no news.
Hi, thank you for taking the time to update this software! I know i speak for many who are still using this underrated synth/sampler nearly 40 years after it’s release when I say I hope you will consider releasing it unlocked after giving Steinberg sufficient time to respond. I feel it’s very unlikely they will, given there’s no incentive for them either way – they certainly can’t sell licenses for long obsolete software (although if they did I would certainly buy one!). As far as I know yours is the only full graphical editor for the FZ in existence… I have tried the cracked version 1.0 that is around but it’s super buggy. As someone said above it would be a dream to use this with an atari emulator like STeem! It would really open up this extremely capable machine. Thanks again.
