Re: VZ-8m Manual

2009-11-06 by steve_the_composer

I agree--thanks for scanning the manual and for giving us the link, Mark. I tried uploading it to the files section, but it is too big (20MB v. the 5 MB limit on uploads).

Terry, I hope the manual helps you get the vz-8m working with the guitar. It should be a really nice combination. (I have used the vz-8m with the Casio DH-100 horn.) 

In case the problem you described is a result of scrambled user presets (INT), I suggest you try the guitar presets in the factory ROM banks--PST1 and PST2. Use the SHIFT button to move through the banks. Internal Factory ROM Op-Mems G-1 --> G-8 are the factory guitar patches. (See manual pp. 101-102).

Footnote to p. 74 (MIDI DATA): You can set up the vz-8m so that program change commands 64-127 will switch the unit to either PST1 or PST2. However, you have to send a shorts system exclusive message to the vz-8m to select whether it will be PST1 or PST2 (Shift Change command). (Program changes commands 0-63 will switch to INT.)  

Best wishes. Let us know how it goes. 
Steve
