Re: FM Synth

2007-02-23 by jeswa

I have to say that when I recieved my ZO, I was rather unimpressed as 
well.  I spent days patching messing with it, trying to get what I 
considered "my money's worth" out of it.  Then little by little it 
started to really impress me when I wasn't expecting it, especially as 
a modulation source.  Now I have these monstrous patches where 
practically everything is being controlled (rather, dominated, 
manhandled, etc.) by the ZO's multitude of outputs. I was expecting a 
DX7, instead I got a Tesla Coil. It's definitely unique and amazing, 
it just wasn't (in my personal experience) as immediately gratifying 
as most of the other modules I've used.
That's my 2ยข's.

As far as a module similar to the Casio CZ synths, I'm not aware that 
such a thing exists, but I would gladly one if it did.
