Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

Howdee,

I don't have a manual, and I'm not succeeding at setting up a multi-
channel setup.
For starters, if I hit the Multi-Channel button, the display shows an 
internal sound, then POLY=0 is blinking.  If I put the cursor on the 
0, I can't change the value.  The Value slide doesn't change it, or 
any other key. So I don't hear that sound. Does it take a keystroke 
combination ?  The slide will change the channel or level, but not 
the poly. 

I can't get the cursor on the (OUT1) output field either.  If I put 
change my keyboard's midi channel, I can hear that someone has put a 
sound on a channel or two, but I can't do anything with it.

help!

Thanks,
Pete

The output channel is fixed- channels 1-4 go to OUT1 and 5-8 go to OUT2.  
Each set of 4 channels has 8 voices (corresponding to the two sound 
generator chips) that are allocated using the POLY parameter.  Scroll 
through the other channels (using the page up/down buttons) and turn the 
POLY parameter down to 0 for channels 1-4, then you can set POLY to 8 on 
channel 1- it's locked at 0 on channel 1 because you can't have more than 8 
voices assigned for each output/set of 4 channels.

Thanks, I'm outta jail now!

Mine has out1 and out2's for each channel, if the polyphony is 
available.  Right now I'm using channels 1-3, with a different pair 
of sounds on each channel.  The specs for VZ-10m I read, said it's 8-
part multitimbral.  I guess you don't get the 16 voices in multi mode.

Well, you get all the 16 Voices unless you need 16 Mono Voices ;)

By golly,
You Are Right!

Now I'm happier.  Is it like you can't store multis?  Seems like it's 
a workspace, and you don't save a bank of them.
  
Thanks,
Pete

You can have 8 Voices per Output 1 (A1-D1) and 8 Voice for output 2 (E1-H1). 
Multis can't be stored, not even on a RAM Card, I think only the VZ-8 can do 
this. Anyway It seems sounddiver is able to send/receive multis, so I guess it's 
possible to store them as part of the dump, what I haven't tried yet...
