Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

Hi michaw,

I like to take the time to generally thank you for the kind words:)
Anyway all my sounds were programmed on a VZ-1 and I use no editing 
software what so ever. It's the love of what I love doing the most 
out of my VZ and had it for over 15 years. (Still working great 
including my RAM cards). It just comes to show you what you can do 
with a VZ-1 and what is it's limitations? Again, thank you for the 
comments of my sounds and hopefully I may come up with more sounds in 
the future. Maybe sooner:-D

PS...I got one vz-1 and two vz-10m's
