Hi, Jasmin,

why not to read Owner's Manual to learn something about the  
instrument? Start with it. If you haven't manual, you can download it  
from the net. You can find also some sound sets in MID or SYX format.

Of course you can program your own sounds, save them in instrument  
memory, on RAM card or in the computer. You must to learn something  
about the iPD synthesis.

I doubt somebody did such special sounds you need for Balkan music on  
this instrument. I know only about such sounds for CZ series, you can  
easily google it, there are dedicated pages for such music. Some  
famous and excellent Balkan musicians used CZ101.
To some degree it would be possible to convert them for VZ, if  
somebody has enough knowledge about differences between PD and iPD  
synthesis.

Anyway I don't think this is the best solution, and the best way how  
to get good emulations.
Better to buy a special Oriental instrument dedicated for this type of  
music and based on samples of real acoustic instruments. Yamaha,  
Roland, Korg, GEM .... produced such instruments. You can set even  
micro intervals (quarter tones) necessary for Turkish or Arabian music.

Good luck!
