You can find a video demo of the VZ-10m posted here.

"This VZ-10M is identical to the VZ-1 keyboard in functionality in a smaller, rack mountable package. Working great and sounds awesome. A unique feature on this is that in addition to the unbalanced outputs, it also features a TRS and XLR jack for a stereo mix output.

Very Rare! Casio RA-500 RAM CARD for Casio VZ-1, VZ-10M, 8M, PG-380 is included. Each RAM card holds up to 64 VZ-10M patches and 64 VZ-10M operation memories.

BITLEY Casio VZ-1/VZ-10M/VZ-8M Sound Bank

via Patrick Fridh on the MATRIXSYNTH Facebook Group

"The world’s most incredible journey of a tiny, tiny file

1. The Casio VZ sound bank was programmed by myself, naturally, on the front panel of my Casio VZ-1.

2. I later sold these sounds on 3,5″ Atari floppy disks and I think I had at a maximum 2 or 3 buyers of the soundbank, ever.

3. I worked from my apartement in the utterly small town of Gnesta, Sweden, with the address Stora Torget 1, 646 31 Gnesta. This was my first own address after having moved out of my parents’ home.

4. 18 years later I find the file on the internet.

5. The file is hosted somewhere in the United States.

I just find this incredibly amusing.

6. Naturally, the copying of the file originally was an illegal act. Given the historic event and how amusing I find this, I must say, that this utterly criminal act hereby is utterly forgiven. Seen as how it all flew back to myself, I would, incredibly enough even say that I salute the poor soul who did this. Even though I spent several months working intensively with programming the data, using such a totally confusing system as the Casio VZ-1 is, to do it.

7. Since I even had lost the backup of the file myself, the sound bank is now fully in the hands of the Public Domain."

Casio PG 380 Synth Guitar

via this auction

Details:
"The PG-380 electronics include a built-in, monotimbral, playback-only synthesizer using VZ technology, with 64 preset sounds in internal ROM (See the above website for a listing of all the sounds). However, a door on the back of the guitar allows insertion of a RAM card for playback of sounds created on a VZ-1, VZ-8M, or VZ-10M.

The internal synth does offer one useful feature: It operates in legato mode. That is, while in chromatic mode, if you pick a fretted string and then slide your finger up the fretboard, you won't get a new attack from the synth at each fret, as you will with an external MIDIed synth."

Casio VZ8M Part 1 & 2

"NEW OLD STOCK

Thats right, this little wonder came to me brandy spankin' new in the original box from a Gentleman who was a Casio rep. back in the day and kept this for his personal studio which never came to realization.

This was an experiment to use the Doepfer R2M to control the VZ8M set on a wind controller patch, Chello sound."
