Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

Hi,

I own both synths the VZ-1 and the FS1R and in my opinion they are
absolutely different beasts.

And I love them!

You can take a look to this video I made some time ago. It is a
demonstration of several VZ-1 syx files I downloaded from the
Internet.
Some sounds are typical digital synth but other patches are really
weird and fascinating (to me!)  (I love the pads and human voices very
much).

Note that the real sound is thicker and warmer than the one you can
hear on the video (Youtube audio compression isn't very good :( ).

BR,

Jam
