Casio VZ-10M Synth Used

Late 80s rack synth version of the VZ-1. Eight oscillators with combination mode that allows stacking of up to 4 patches on top of each other, giving a total of 32 oscillators per voice. Each oscillator features controls for Waveform, detune, envelope, envelope depth (that also functions as oscillator volume), envelope velocity sensitivity, envelope key follow and amplifier sensitivity. 64 total patches.

Very good condition. Display is clear, but the backlight is not working.

"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. Thumping bass-lines and sweeping pads are its strongest points but it is also very capable of analog-ish brass and strings."

**This unit is currently equipped with an unknown set of great-sounding patches. It includes the VZ-1 ROM card with all the VZ-1/VZ-10 stock sounds.
