Very outstanding and amazing sounds from this instrument. Thanks for sharing since I still love the VZ's
Pleasantly surprised by just how good this synth is!
Its so frustrating because it sounds great, but its horrible to program.
How could this instrument have been overlooked for so long?
At the time if you compared the preset sounds to the Yamaha tx802 or DX7ii then it sounded woefully inferior. Thinner, brighter and harsher were criticism's I heard in the day. How much of this criticism was due to the DX7 sound being quite ubiquitous in music everywhere during the 80's is hard to say. But the presets really do not do this instrument justice. It needs to be deep dived and programmed to get to its potential. Something at the time was very hard to do because of the lack of factory tools to do so easily.
It was basically a 1985 synth in sound and technology released in 1988 when everyone else moved on.
@@wishusknight3009 I have to disagree. Sorry. I've used a VZ-1 and a VZ10M on stage for many, many years. I was always amazed at how many musicians approached me to ask what I was using for certain sounds, and THEY were surprised to see the brand Casio on the pieces. The fact that users who had those through the years refused to sell them has to say something about how much they were appreciated. Sorry. I never really got into the Yamaha sounds, though I did have a TX-81Z when they first came out. Didn't like it at all.
@@65marlin327 The sound preferences of everyone are of course subjective. The VZ1 is much brighter than the early DX7, which would probably lead to many disliking it. I have heard the VZ1 when it had some patchwork done, and they are capable of some impressive textures for sure. But as I was saying, I don't think the factory presets do it justice. And by that point there was a lot of worked over DX7 sounds coming along. I don't at all dislike the VZ1, its just nothing special until you dive into it. Then it shows what its capable of. And I am sure it could hold up well against many others out there.
I personally didn't care for my dx7 IID either until i installed a greymatter E!. Then its a completely different animal. mine has capabilities that give it an almost analog quality to it. Thick and lush. Searing when needed, deep and harmonious when desired and as bent out as one could hope for from an early FM. But a total pain in the... to patch. To the extent I don't use it for more than a midi interface for my DAW.
My SY77 is a different sound yet again. Very refined, powerful and nuanced. But at a time when the M1 and the more "realistic" sounds were becoming the desired norm, the SY77 suffered a similar fate to the VZ1.
Ironically all the impact the M1 had, its not as memorable as most other major synth out there. Nor any other wave syth tbh. Even though that is pretty much the way everything went.
By the time the VZ series came along, the workstation craze was just starting, and nobody wanted synth sounds anymore; they wanted samples. Plus the Casio synths never had all that much traction outside of Japan. In Japan it was endorsed by artists like Isao Tomita; I don't think I could find even one ad in the US where any musician of note came out and endorsed the CZ/VZ series. There was just a lot of potential there that Casio just never developed here. It was just bad marketing and bad timing on Casio's part.
@@65marlin327 I've heard a few similar stories about people being surprised by the VZ live. It's a weird one, gets you in the gut. A synth you can feeeeeel.
AWESOME ✨💖💖✨🎼🎶🎹🎵🎹🎵😎😎😎😎✨👍👍👍👍
Excellent!
Thnx .. nice 80s sound
I'd wager that the theme for Doogie Howser MD was made with this.
Nope. It was an actual Yamaha DX7. Casio never gained any kind of serious market share in the US with either the CZ or the VZ. As close as they got to the DX (close enough that Yamaha tried suing them for patent infringement), people would reach for the real thing instead. Not many people took Casio seriously as a synth maker in the US. In Japan, however, they didn't suffer the same prejudices against them that they did here. One of the leading synth composers from Japan, Isao Tomita, made several albums with them.
Stiiiiilllll got mine from the 90's 😎👍
