The Casio VZ-1 was released in 1988 hot on the heels of the successful CZ line and became Casio's flagship synthesizer, replacing the CZ-1 at the top end and going flat out to town with the feature list, easily putting it toe to toe with products from Yamaha, Roland and Korg. The case design also reflected a more professional approach that ...

2019年10月31日 · With its full-sized velocity and aftertouch-capable 61-note keyboard, the VZ-1 was never going to be mistaken for a mere plaything. This sentiment was only reinforced by the deep and intimidating take on digital synthesis that lurked beneath its sleek black exterior.

Casio VZ series utilize Interactive Phase Distortion synthesis (iPD synthesis). Although named similarly, this is much more similar to Yamaha-style phase modulation synthesis than to Casio-style PD: the modulators in iPD are oscillating waveforms, rather than the angular functions of the original PD. Thus the CZ and VZ engines are quite ...

The VZ-1 is a synthesizer based on interactive phase distortion (iPD), which is similar to FM synthesis. It can store an additional 64 patches and 64 performances (operation memories) on an RA-500 RAM card. It is available in rackmount form as the Casio VZ-10M. Year Released: 1988. MSRP: 1399.00 USD. Keyboard: 61 keys with velocity and aftertouch.

Casio VZ10m vs Kawai K5m Xander - I owned both of those - and you want the CZ-1 it is better than the Vz-1 as the sound is richer and more versatile. The VZ is decent - I've owned the rack mount and the board - if you get a good deal.

The VZ-1 uses Phase Distortion for ring modulation and waveform generation but true Frequency Modulation Synthesis to generate harmonics. The end result is a unique and hauntingly space-age sounding synthesizer with many smooth "twangy" textures - but it can also be very harsh and noisy when complex phasing is employed.

The VZ-8M is a 1988 synthesizer by Casio that only lasted a few years until it was discontinued in 1991. It is a 1U-high 19" expander that only offers 8 voices of polyphony, which is half of what the VZ1/VZ10M's have.

BASICS FIRST: THE VZ1 is a 16-voice, multitimbral synthesiser with a 61-key velocity and pressure-sensitive keyboard. For better or worse, there are no samples, effects or sequencer built in - this is a synthesiser, pure and simple (or complex, in the VZ's case).
