This is a great demo, nice work! Always loved your older demo too! My CZ-1 and VZ-10m will go to my grave with me. Two phenomenal instruments I would be lost without!
@@MrWoofer you’re welcome! I also have a few Yamaha FM synths, my favorite is the FB-01. But I much prefer the sound of PD synths. They work well together together though. I’m likely biased since my 1st synth in the 80’s was a CZ230s. I had a guitar strap for it lol! Keep up the good work. Look forward to more quality reviews from you sir.
I never understood why Casio was treated like a bad synth. I LOVE my V-1, VZ-10M, VZ-8 M, and my FZ-1 Many times musicians would approach me on stage wanting to know where I was getting my electric piano sound. They were blown away when they learned it was out of a Casio!
Because they had a digital watch makers name slapped across the rear panel. Most people put black tape over it but I didn’t care. My first synth was a CZ-1000, and then I bought an FZ-1 which was a long way ahead of others, even the FZ-1’s synth engine was an amazing version of the CZ series but a lot of people never realised what it could do and just treated it as a sampler. The waveforms were nice but the best thing about them was the 8 step envelope with the sustain step that you could put anywhere within the 8 so you could have amazing control of the attack and attack decay before the sustain step kicked in or do similar after the sustain step before the final decay step. In some ways it was like having a type of appreciator in each of the 6 envelopes so for people like me who learnt how to use them instead of just playing presets they were an amazing machine. Even today most VSTs just give a pathetic ADSR although some let you add steps. I learnt a lot about sound synthesis on those units and found that type of synthesis and layout easy to learn because it made sense to me. After that I got hooked on Ensoniq. I would like to get a VZ-1 and a Kawai K-5000. Too me they are interesting synth engines and despite the fact that I also use VSTs I do like to keep certain bits of hardware.
@@Me-sr9gn I have a VZ-1, a VZ-10M, and a VZ-8m. All are awesome! The 8 is actually the sound unit for my MG-510 MIDI guitar. I hate to say it, but I'll soon have to start selling all my equipment, including my beloved Casio gear. That's going to be hard to do!
Its easier to program then a Yamaha fs1r. Does the casio vz-1 have emulator or ppg wave type digital voices because i like it like raw early digital sounds.
I have a kodamo essence fm mk2 i still have it because i love sega genesis fm synthesis and i can make custom waveform for fm algorithms. Casio has its own uniqueness.

Absolutely amazing! I really enjoyed this wonderful video of the legendary VZ synths! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much! I love your VZ patches!!
@@MrWoofer Wow thanks you so much!!
Lovely sounds! The VZ is truly a unique synth. Your demos sound great.
Thank you so much!
Really phenomenal demos you've created here. Thank you for displaying a lesser known gem!
Thanks a lot!

Thank you for this! Yes, both exceptional synths!

Ambient demo smashed me
I bought a VZ-1 a couple years ago in large part because of your excellent "Phazed" demo. Love how versatile it is!
Thanks so much! 👍

Amazing demos. Great job!
Great work. An example of how to make a good demo video. We want more videos like this.
Thank you so much for watching! More on the way.
My compliments for this well done video.

Hey man, I have seen all your 'one synth' demos and you are the best... Great skills my friend! I love my VZ-10M
Hey, thanks so much!! 😊
Great song and video! Nice disco footage, is that from a movie? I have a CZ1.. :)
Thanks so much for watching! 🙂 It is indeed, I have some links in the description.
A DX-7 can't do analog strings without distortion, so there the VZ wins.
Both have their strong and weak points and I love them both! 🙂
I have a kodamo essence fm mk2 i still have it because i love sega genesis fm synthesis and i can make custom waveform for fm algorithms. Casio has its own uniqueness.
Thank you for another great demo!
I am not sure it is better than DX7, - is it different. Has own pros and cons over DX7.
Thanks a lot! Exactly, that's why I still keep my TX802 and TX81Z around! 😉
