Each module can act as a carrier or modulator, so that you could have up to eight carriers, or as few as one carrier being modulated by seven modulators (or as many/few as required). The modules have flexible routing, so that the first pair can modulate the second pair and so on. The modules can be ring-modded, phase-modded, or ouput 'straight'. Each module can be edited independently and each has its own on/off button and indicator lamp. The VZ-1 can do the traditional (four stage) ADSR envelope, but is more versatile, giving the user from one to eight-stage envelopes. It has a multi-timbral mode with eight patches on different midi channels, and a combination mode with up to four patches combined into one. The modules (or oscillators) can be from a choice of eight waveforms: sine, sawtooth one to five, noise one, and noise two. Keyboard action is excellent."
