Re: [CZsynth] You may like this new VZ demo.

I'm sorry but now I'm pretty confused from your message.

VZ has no sampled sounds, it's not sampler but digital synthesizer. Of  
course you can sample it's sound, detune individual samples in  
software or hardware sampler and play them from sampler in detuned  
scale.

Now you say: "detuned to a western scale" ??? What do you mean?

Within VZ you can't tune microtonal scales. Of course you can detune  
the basic sound, or use ring modulation to get those inharmonic  
spectrum, but basic tuning (temperament) will be always 12 tone equal  
temperament (= western chromatic scale).

This demo in your link can be really slendro temperament. So we are  
back to my first question. How did you get slendro "straight from VZ",  
"strictly coming out of VZ-1"?
