Hi Mike,
I have a paper copy for the VZ-10M that's too big for me to scan 
unless you want it piecemeal. I got it from www.transanalog.com This 
guy has a bunch of service docs and he repairs and mods a lot of 
synth gear. I just fixed a garbled display in a VZ-10M and have begun 
to learn how to program this strange but great sounding beast.

My biggest wish for any of the VZ or CZ gear is looping envelopes or 
maybe your SLFO. You get this great filter or VCA sweep with up to 8 
stages and then it's all over, from hero to zero.... Kaplooie. 

Great to see you're looking into fooling with other gear!  Have you 
looked at the roms yet???  Fran
