Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

Thanks for filling in some of the details Jeremy, I have both an 8 and a10
and what you've said is all correct and dead on target. I personally think
that the VZ-8m's handling of stereo is a vast improvement over what Casio
had been doing before (CZ-1, VZ-1 etc.). I've never linked up multiple 8ms
but I would imagine that if that works pretty well then the 2 or more 8ms
linked pretty much destroys a single VZ10/1. Maybe someday I'll pick up a
second 8m and check it out. Also I've never programmed a VZ with the screen,
I do all my editing via PC, the patches get pretty complicated so that even
with the VZ1/10's better display I'm not sure how much it really helps.

	Your questions were already answered by Jon Furman, but here are
some other
	facts I picked up about the VZ-8M over on the EZ-VZ site, in case
they are
	of interest:

	*  better stereo effects than the VZ-1 and VZ-10M -- apparently
stereo
	panning is unique to this unit
	*  less polyphony per box than the VZ-10M, but unlike the VZ-10M,
you can
	chain a bunch of them together to get 64-voice polyphony
	*  no graphic display?  unlike VZ-1 and VZ-10M, patch editing must
be done
	with a computer
	*  the only VZ that can be used with the Casio guitar synth and wind
synth,
	I believe
	*  you can actually edit sounds on the VZ-8M, save them to a RAM
card, and
	insert that card in the Casio guitar synth to get new sounds

	Note, I don't have one myself.  Just gathered this much from
research.

	Thanks to the recommendations of the group a while back I picked up
a VZ-8M
	for $99 on Ebay.  [...] What is the patch compatibility of this
device?  I
	would guess that it's fully compatible with VZ-1 and VZ-10M
patches/sysex.
	How about the CZ patch compatibility?
