Casio CZ/VZ Files... part of CZsynth

Hi, I have tried several, but perhaps not all of what is available.  Most of the banks have a few sounds that I liked, but I haven't found one that that was a "must have".  

Sounds are also something of a personal preference.  I like synth sounds.  So, I have little interest in a lot of the Casio banks that try to imitate real instruments.  (Cowbell!??, I can't believe they actually took up precious memory space for Cowbell!)

Are there any type of sounds in particular you are looking for?  Some one may know where to find it.

Personally, I am finishing up a bank of Synth sounds that I hope to give away later this year.  The VZ is very unforgiving when it comes to programming, but for me it has been a lot of fun.  I have had to learn more about additive synthesis and the sound physics of effects.  When all you have is Oscillators with no accurate calibration (0 to 99 is not calibration) and no rotary dials…well I am sure you understand.  But it has its moments.  Good luck on your search for sounds!

Yup--the only calibration tool is the sound designer's ear!

Looking forward to hearing your sounds.

As for my favorites, I have been proud of some of the ones I created. Also, I have been impressed with Cliff's sets in recent years.

I agree, though, sounds are a matter of personal taste--what I like out a a particular bank might not be what someone else likes--but the true test is the music we make with the sounds.
