Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

That's an ingenious solution - I'd forgotten the square-wave vibrato option! As has been said, setting it to 99 gives you a 1-octave shift at concert pitch. I once used it (at about 8 Hz) for a calliope (fairground organ) sound for an amateur pantomime production! Sadly, my current Casio, the WK-3000 won't do an exact octave, although it does still have the squarewave option.

  Phede,

  I think the sound in Heart Of Glass is not really an arpeggio sound,
  it's more like a gated bass sound. You can approximate this on your CZ
  without the need for more equipment. It won't be a perfect solution,
  but it will sound similar.

  Use the Vibrato function like this:

  1. Turn off the modulation wheel by hitting the modulation key. This
  is necessary for vibrato to function.

  2. Create a sustained bass sound that has the tone and properties you
  like.

  3. Now hit the Vibrato button to change the vibrato settings for the
  sound. Change the Vibrato Wave to "4", which is the square wave, which
  will give a gated sound. Set Vibrato Delay to "00", no delay. Play
  around with Vibrato Rate until you get it to match the tempo of your
  song in the way that you imagined it. Change Vibrato Depth to "99",
  which is the maximum.

  This will give you a gated sound like in Heart Of Glass. It's not
  exactly the right thing, but it's worth playing around with.
