Casio VZ-10M

Video demo in the listing previously posted here.

"8 operators - ...not just 6 like for example DX7...
8 EG
2 LFO
Harmonics Modulator (phase, ring)

The voice architecture is similar to the Yamaha DX synthesizers but where the DX7 has six oscillators to choose from, the VZ has eight.

Each oscillator is part of a 'module' and each module has a long list of functions independent of the other modules: Waveform, detune, envelope, envelope depth (that also functions as oscillator volume), envelope velocity sensitivity, envelope key follow and amplifier sensitivity. Each module is then arranged in 4 pairs: A, B, C and D. The first module in a pair then has the option to mix with the second module (similar to a dual oscillator synthesizer), ring modulate the second module or phase modulate the second module. The output from this can then be sent to the main output, or used to modulate the second module of the following pair (for example: the output from Pair A modulates the second module in Pair B which is also being ring modulated with the first module in Pair B). This freedom to pick and choose your own voice combinations allows for some very wild and complex sounds.

The VZ-1 also features a combination mode that lets you stack up to 4 patches on top of each other giving a total of 32 oscillators per voice."

Loscha Plays - Artec "Octave Drive" SE-OCT OTA Boss OC-2 style circuit with added DIRTY DRIVE mode.


video upload by Edward Jones

Wait for it.

"I forgot to adjust the tiny trimmer inside the unit! D'Oh!
Upon reflection, it is probably a drive control, as the knob on front panel just adds in the volume of the distorted sound, not the quality of the distortion."

What Synth would your parents buy you for Christmas 1991 instead of the Korg 01 you actually wanted.

Bad Gear - Clone THIS!!!


video upload by AudioPilz

"Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world’s most-hated audio tools. It has become common practice for old school synth manufacturers - and I mean Roland - to squeeze every penny from their great 80s legacy: toy-ish digital clones, even smaller fridge magnet-sized synth reimaginings and I totally want a pair of TR-808 Pumas.

Today we are going to talk about the CZ101. This compact 1985 Phase Distortion synth was Casio’s first foray into the world of professional keyboards and given the fact that it was used by - well - everybody can only mean one of two things: Casio doesn’t like money or it’s a really bad synth.

Burford Reefer "Coral Sitar" Emulator (really a Green Ringer) on a Casio AT-40 Arabic Keyboard


video upload by Edward Jones

"The rectifying octave up of the Green Ringer style circuit sounds frankly amazing on the analogue sine-based drum tones that the drums on AT-40. We were not expecting it to sound so cool. We were in "Flavour Country".

If you want this sound on your own tracks, I highly recommend 'Gringer' by Chris from Airwindows. He's made a model of the rectifying part of the circuit. To get the full 'Reefer' experience, place a warm overdrive on the way into Gringer to emulate the first stage of the Reefer pedal.

Liwaco LW-610 - Casio VL-1 VL-TONE Clone w/ Original Box

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.


via this listing

"Made in Japan Liwaco LW-610 mini keyboard synth 80s.

Instrument de Musique Electronique!

I guess Liwaco is a French electronic gadgets/toy company, and they had comissioned Casio to do their own brand models, equal to original Casios but with different colour schemes and of course printed in French!!

This is the good old Casio VL-1 VL-TONE , only sexier (than it already is ) with the futuristic bordeaux colour and with French words spread all over :)

MINT MINT MINT!

No issues, works excellent, all OK.

Comes in original box and the users manual booklet (of course in French)"
