Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

Well, since you can do some very cool changing sounds for instance using velocity 
filter control combined with ringmod and since the CZ has no other controller to 
change filter in real time, it's the only way to create controllable filter 
movement or other major realtime sound changes...

Why would you add velocity sensitivity for
brightness or amplitude?  Doesn't velocity
sensitivity strictly have to do with volume due
to amount of pressure on the key.  What does it
have to do with filters?
