Casio VZ-10M Synthesizer Module SN 000696 w/ Original Box & 4 ROM Cards



via this auction

"Includes original box, user manual , MIDI manual, quick chart

4 ROM Cards

ROM Card 100 - Card that comes with the unit
ROM Card 110 - US Collection
ROM Card 130 - European Collection
ROM Card 140 - Hi Powered Collection

The LCD backlight is a bit dim, and there is a small amount of rack rash on the top, but other than that its in amazing condition.

The VZ-10M takes a hybrid approach to its sound generation and 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.

Polyphony - 16 voices
Multitimbral - 8 parts duo-phonic
Oscillators - 8 iPD Modules across 4 Pairs
Waveforms - 1 sine, 5 saw, 1 noise, 1 noise + sine
LFO - 2 LFO generators for Tremolo and Pitch
Envelope - 9x 8-stage envelopes (8 amp, 1 global pitch)
Memory - 64 preset patches, 64 user patches, 64 patch external cartridge (via RC-100 ROM card)
Control - MIDI In, Out and Thru"

Faeries Mannheim Steamroller - Analog Synth Cover


video by Ronnie Augeri

"Tchaikovsky's Dance of the Sugar Plumb Faries in the style off Mannheim Steamroller. This song features all of the synths in the video, including the rackmount Yamaha Tx81z's custom bell patches. The Motif xs8 is only used as a midi controller. The bass is a combination of the Moog, Tx81z, and P5."

Missed this one back in December.

Ieaskul F. Mobenthey Canvas

"I recorded a series of three audios featuring specifically Ieaskul F. Mobenthey modules, made by Peter Blasser, the inventor of the Ciat Lonbarde insturments.

I have all IFM modules minus the Sprott, which I want so much! I also have a Mr. Glassi, which I think is essential to IFM setup, or for any setup! Missing the Sprott, filtering duty here is done by Mannequin's 3 sisters."

Let's Play with DrumComputer


video by Tim Webb

"Sugar Bytes brought their massive drum synth DrumComputer to iOS, and it includes all of the sound design complexity of the desktop version. There is a lot to cover and I had a bunch of fun exploring the unique oscillators' designs."

video by Tim Webb

"AudioKit brings us a lovingly-crafted 909-inspired drum machine app! It some unique sound design which I make great use of in this Let's Play. I then stuff it into IK Multimedia's new MixBox CS for extra compression and grit, before jamming with AR-909 and Troublemaker.

THIS GUY TURNED A 1920's TYPEWRITER INTO A SYNTHESIZER


video by Most Random

Reminds me of the The 1953 Charlie Douglass "Laff Box"

Videos from the creator:

I Turned a 1920's Typewriter into a MIDI Controller
video by William Sun Petrus

"whenever a hammer contacts with the "live plate", it will send a signal to the arduino. The arduino recognises which hammer has been pressed and fires a signal into my PC via the cable, and into Ableton. Ableton sees some MIDI information and understands that it needs to trigger that specific sound. This song is composed of 17 difference sounds, played live for you, right here, right now. This typewriter is actually just a small part of a much bigger project, so there's still a lot more to come!"

[How To Play] 1920's Typewriter EDM MIDI Controller

video by William Sun Petrus

"The reaction on this mini project has been incredible - i'm surprised we hit the 100+ likes mark so quickly! As promised, here is the Ableton project file for you to play with! It's super simple and you can play this on any MIDI controller with buttons/keys on it. Rearrange the samples to fit your hands better, make a remix, perform a cover, build that thing you thought of a few years ago. There's a midi helper file inside the project with everything you need to know if you get stuck :)"
