CASIO VZ-1 iPD Synthesizer from the year 1987

The VZ-1 is a real digital synthesizer like the Yamaha DX-7. No virtual sound engine, no samples.
iPD synthesis = interactive phase distortion

The VZ-1 uses Phase Distortion synthesis for ring modulation and waveform generation and true Frequency Modulation Synthesis to generate the harmonics.

The sound is a bit similar to the DX series but the synthesis is different. Also different to the early CZ series. The voice combinations allows for some very wild and complex sounds."
