Cheers- Yesterday I had the chance to mess with a Zerocillator at analog haven.. needless to
say I was underwhelmed. I had grandiose ideas of it's FM and what it would sound like.. 
hmm.. I'm searching for that classic square wave sound of the CZ101 range of gear.  I think 
they used a slightly different Phase Distortion type of FM, and that may be why the sound was  
so good.. anybody else make a FM module?  

Thanks -Coleman.

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 2¢'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.

I don't know about the Casio comparison but the Modcan 58B VCDCO rocks for FM! 
http://www.modcan.com/bseries/modulesb.html
I got one of these a couple of weeks ago and can't stop playing with it. If you like FM sounds I 
don't know how you could possibly be disappointed with this module. It's not cheap but it's 
half the price of a ZO! There are demos on the Modcan site and I plan to upload a few of mine 
in the next couple of days - check the Yahoo Modcan group.
Bruce really cares about his customers too, like Dieter :-)

Wow!! the demos sound really amazing!! the waves are really different then the VCO's I 
currently have in my setup.. Very punchy.. I'll enquire if I can just get a board and try to 
make a panel to get it to fit into my euro-rack-

Thanks Phil-

Coleman.
