This is now called cliffs NEWEST. Original called cliffs FINAL4 but with lots of added sound replacing the old ones. I decided to put this special one on mediafire mainly for the downloading counts. It's called cliffs NEWEST and the link is: http://www.mediafire.com/?pn4pdu6mocff1dn Feel free to share them all over. Enjoy. cliff

Your message about sending your sound file came before my message asking it :-) That's nice of you, thanks. Unfortunately I sold my VZ1 and VZ10m years ago and can't enjoy it. Maybe parameter list would be good for analysis and maybe some attempts to emulate your sounds on CZ series (recently I still have CZ3000) but it's too much work to write it down. Never mind, somebody could use it. Daniel Forro On Jan 13, 2012, at 10:42 AM, cliffe123 wrote: > Oh and this is only on sysx files. Enjoy.

Sorry to hear that, well I guess most people are not too happy with there old synths thease days. Im just the opposite since im not too happy with my newer synth which I hardly ever play other than my vz I had for over 20 years. I know one thing the CZ's are still good but only good in there own ways of making sounds. Sad thing I don't know too much about them though but I do wish you luck on your cz3000 whatever it has to offer. --- In CZ-VZ-Files@yahoogroups.com, Daniel Forró <dan.for@...> wrote:

I'm happy with any synthesizer, as I'm collector to some degree, if only I could keep all I have bought in the past, there were hundreds... but sometimes unfortunately had to sell something to get money and space for some other machines. But I regretted many times I had to do this... CZ/VZ series has some features the other machines hasn't and can produce interesting and quite usable sounds. I think any synth - be it old or new - can serve well if we know how to use its best and the most typical features. It has no sense to expect good piano sound from DX7, or aggressive sound from Korg Wavestation or Kawai K5000, or pipe organ from Korg MS2000... What I like most of all is to combine different types of sound synthesis in my numerous hardware synths. Each of them has some strong and weak points, but together they create a huge supersynth with lot of possibilities. Recently i have about 70 instruments in my studio... Daniel Forro

Hi everybody, I have a Casio VZ-10M since 1996...never parted with! It has some amazing timbres...especially bell like tones, or electric clunky electric pianos...very nice for ethereal sounds, film music, etc. ________________________________ From: cliffe123 <cliffe123@...> To: CZ-VZ-Files@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, 13 January 2012, 6:09 Subject: [CZ-VZ-Files] Re: New patches are finally here.

Hello Daniel, thank you for the instrument list. I was wondering if its really you, i have two your books from 90s, Pocitace a hudba, Midi komunikace v hudbe... I am from Slovak republic, Bardejov... Shame on me, i do not have any website, yet I am composing music for games and TV, here is my hardware list: Casio CZ1000, VZ10M, Kawai K1II, K3m, K4r, XD5 Proteus 2000, Kurzweil K2000R, K2500XS Roland JV-90, D70, Fantom XR, JD990, D550, XV5080, Korg Triton Rack Yamaha TG500, TG33 Peavey Bass II Motu MidiTimePiece, 828MK2,828mk3 RME Fireface 800 Two Imacs and Muse Receptor 1B. Software list: Primary DAW - Cubase 6 Arturia V-Collection, Bob Moog Uhe -ACE, Zebra2, DIVA, Berlin Modular Camel Alchemy Plogue ChipSounds ReFX QuadraSID EWQL PLAY - orchestra, Goliath, rock, fab four, gypsy, SD2, Choirs MOTU MachFive 2.0, 3.0, ethno, orchestra MidiQuest 10 BTW i have worked on those casual game titles: www.bigfishgames.com - Ice Princess - Valgor 1, 2 - Family Farm - Art Detective - Angelo -- all games 60 minutes demo free. some of them are also MAC versions. I am still wondering, why you keep CZ 3000, i think the best Casio is CZ 1, isnt ? Have a nice day Jan ----- Hi, Jan, it's published on my web pages at www.soundclick.com/forrotronics where it's possible to hear my music as well. I like all of them :-), but most favorite and most used in my studio are: Yamaha: 2x VL1, 2x VL1m, SY99, 2x EX5, FS1r, MU128 V2, PSR9000 Pro, Clavinova P500, DX7, DX7 II D, TX802, TX81z, TX816, TX416, TG77, TG500, RM50, TG33 Korg: Wavestation, Wavestation AD, 2x Prophecy, MS2000, PA80, CX3 V2, EX800, ER1, KaosPad 1 Roland: V-piano, Jupiter 6, JD800, 2x JD990, MKS70 Kawai: K5000W, K3 Novation: Supernova Oberheim: Matrix 6r Casio: CZ3000 EMU: Ultraproteus, E4X Technics: WSA1r Akai: S3000XL Less used are: Yamaha: 2x TX16W, CS15D, 2x CS40m, CS80, SY1, WT11, rhythmer RX5, organ YC45D, SK20 and B30R, electro-acoustic piano CP80 Korg: Sigma, X911 Roland: SH2000, TR808 Elka: Synthex PPG: Wave 2.2 Hammond: tonewheel organ CV (1945), M3 (1960), LSI organ Commodore (1985) ARP: Pro DGX Moog: Multimoog Kurzweil: K250 Casio: MT65 MFB: 512 Main reason is I haven't so much space in my studio and these instruments are in different rooms. When I need them for recording, I can bring them (with the exception of heavy Hammond and Yamaha organ, huge CS80 synth, and piano CP80 which I have upstairs in our house). I like also other instruments - my Yamaha guitars SG500B, FGXB1, two custom six strings K+K bass guitars (fretted and fretless), fretted one with MIDI pickup and Yamaha G50 converter, also MIDI guitars Casio DG7 and Yamaha G10m, MIDI saxophone WX5 and my Japanese koto, shakuhachi and shamisen. I had much more instruments in my Museum of EA instruments, but sold them before my moving to Japan. Some of them were bought by Vienna Technical Museum and are on exhibition there. I had some very rare old instruments in my collection. So my actual equipment is just rest of it, only few pieces were bought in Japan. Daniel Forro P.S.: Your name looks like Czech, am I right? :-)

Same here, I bought my VZ-1 Brand spanking new from Sam Ash on 48th st NYC in 1987
Cost $449. I still have it to this day and it still works fine!! It will go with me in my coffin.

Wow...surprised the VZ-1 cost so little...I remember blowing about $300 on a slightly used CZ-1000 around '86. I would have saved for the VZ-1 had I known!! Of course I would have been daunted by the programming at the time. I now own a VZ-10 and a CZ-1, and though I eventually got my noggin' around the VZ, the CZ line is pie to program in comparison.
