Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

Your so welcome Steve, Well i'll tell you VZ's are sush a wonderful synths in their own ways. Ways that I could not fully describe of how good they sound coz im just scratching the surface but although it took me a great deal of time. You here of soft synths like Alchemy, Spectrasonics Omnisphere, or NI's FM8 maybe all superior to the vz in some extent but in soundwise? Im still stiking with my VZ. So much potential and so much you can do with this beast but maybe programing it would be something to get use too for others.

For this I used mod wheel 1 and inside of it the A ENV BIAS should be turned ON. The single patch in normal mode to work for the op mem, example MENU1, VALUE 14 of AMP SENS, and SENSITIVITY=7 for M1 or modual-1 for that particular mod wheel tweeking.

Play any keys without taking ur fingers off or sort of glide through the keys and you'll notice that sweeping effect. (without the use of a mod wheel) Anyway study them and see what you can incorperate them with. Hope i've answered all your questions.........
