Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

My guess would be the pitch envelope. The steady state pitch is independant
for each osc, but the pitch envelope only applies to all 8 oscs at the same
time. Kind of a bummer but not a show stopper for me. 

My first improvement on the VZ would be looping envelope points and my
second would be a fix for the processing slow down that happens when a lot
of MIDI data gets passed through the VZ (even if its on a different channel
than the VZ). This is something that Max should know, don't put the VZ on a
MIDI cable that has a lot of CC or pitchbend activity as apparently all MIDI
messages are decoded by the CPU before the unit decides whether or not it
needs to respond to a particular message.  So if you're wailing away on your
K5kS knobs  and all that data is passing through the VZ, the VZ will slow
down, miss notes and generally misbehave. I have all my VZs and CZs on their
own MIDI port to avoid this trouble.

	i'm trying to remember what exactly was my big turn-off to the VZ8m
that i
	had.....
	
	there was some parameter that i thought could be set for each
'operator',
	but when i got the synth, i found out that it was a setting that
affected
	all operators, within the patch.
	
	anybody know what i'm think of???
	(i don't)
