Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

Yes it is a little confusing discerning this point in the manual. But I have not been able to get independent pitch bend ranges for the two voices, even with a key split saved to operation memory. In Operation Memory I put the cursor over tone 1, hit the 'bend range' button and set it to zero. It affects both tones. Then I put the cursor over tone 2, hit bend range and set to '2'. It again affects both tones.

I read over page 49, as you suggested and I believe that the "above listed data" that the manual refers to are only the data marked with an asterisk (Poramento, Glide, Solo on/off). This point is not that clearly written, IMO, though the manual in general is pretty clear.

I thought maybe I could devise a clever workaround, triggering the lower tone through a midi controller, but the pitch bend still affects both voices. I think I might have to change my whole live rig again and just use a cz1000 for leads and use my cz101 to trigger pads and drones. However the 101 doesn't have a pedal input so I'd need to trigger the pads with another keyboard.... the search for the perfect rig continues.

     Last one is true :-)
They say PB and MW are common to both parts.
Ooops.
BUT... Read the page 49!
There's written that Bend Range can be set independently for each part when Key Split setting is written in the memory (as Operation Data).
Then it would be enough to set for the Lower part Bend Range = 0, and that sound will not react to PB even when PB data goes to both Upper and Lower parts.
Try to experiment with it.

On page 45 of Owner's Manual is written it is possible to set independent setting. So if you can't do it, there are these possibilities:
- manual is wrong
- you do something wrong
- your instrument is wrong
- I'm totally wrong.
Just follow the manual and set it as you need.

Hey all. I thought I had read and understood all the parameters of the CZ1, but after purchasing a CZ1 I've discovered that I cannot assign pitch bend to just the RH when in Key Split. Is there any workaround or trick anyone might know of for having the pitch bend only effect the RH? I was hoping to trigger pads and drones with the LH, hold them with the pedal, and then play leads with the RH using the pitch bend with LH.
Perhaps the solution is to not speed read manuals before buying synths.
