Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

hi todd

>Please post some feed back after you've heard the track (does it sound like
>a VZ to you ?).

yes. they have the same good plastic-like feeling as the good old cz synths,
but sound a bit more expensive.

>I do like my VZ, although recent VSTi's or a TX81z/TX802 are tough
>competition for a VZ (IMHO of course).

really? i don't. i think they are rather different. well, a wavestation is a
totally *other* cup of tea.

>Well- I have a weakness for bass- but I certainly don't disagree with you
on
>that (I just have other stuff that I prefer for pads and such).

hmm, i have a vz pad sound i use on virtually every song now...

>I'd love to see someone post even a few deep, rich VZ sounds.

i like the cz bass sounds better, no, i get fine bass sounds easier on my
cz.

>(I don't like Peter Cetera era 80's DX pianos)
>Casio's collection with the name "guitar" in it was a real stretch.

agreed. dx piano is the domain of dx synths. but - both vz and cz
*are* capable of useful guitar sounds. i use an acoustic-like guitar
sound of the cz and a distorted sound of the vz quite often. for the
latter, go to my page http://www.matucana.de and download the
excerpt of "to beat the feeling". the lead sound is the vz one.
