Casio VZ-10M User Manual

Main Features
1 Armazing Synthesis Versatility Thanks to Casio's All-new iPD Sound Source
Casio's all-new “Interactive Phase Distortion” (iPD) sound source system actually consists of 8 independent “mod-
ules” (MI to M8). Each of these modules contains a DCO and a DCA, and is capable of generating independent
waveforms. In the iPD system, the wave generated by any module can be used in either of two ways; 10 produce
audible sounds or to modify waves generated by other modules.
The 8 iPD sound source modules work in associated pairs that are called “Internal Lines,” or simply “lines.” There
‘are 4 internal lines - A, B, C and D,
‘The waveforms generated by both modules in any line can be used together in three different ways. They can be mixed,
‘or one of the waveforms can be used to modulate the other for RING modulation or as the PHASE of a suoceeding line,
2 instant Recall of up to 256 Sounds and 256 Operation Memories
(64 presets give you a wide range of vocal versatility. And with the use of a standard ROM card, the VZ-10M
you incredible tonal expansion potential - up to 128 patches and 128 keyboard setups are literally at your fingertips,
‘What's more, you can store up to 64 sounds and 64 operation memories on an optional RAM card, for even greater
freedom of timbral expression.
3 “Player-friendly” Menus and Functions
Virtually all of the VZ-10M’s editing and programming operations are organized into three basic sub-modes - Menu
1, Menu 2 and Menu 3 that feature a variety of “functions.” Each of these functions is further broken down into
“parameters,” which are constants that have changeable values or setings. To alter VZ-10M sounds or programming,
you simply alter the value of these parameters using a value slider or value keys.
4 Wie Bacisit LCD Graphic Display
‘The VZ-10M's wide graphic LCD features a hierarchical, “player friendly” menu structure, which allows speedy and
‘accurate operations. Sound source configuration, patch editing, multi-patch setup creation, output channel and MIDI
specifications - in fact, virtually all VZ-10M operations are controlled by interacting with various functions that are
found in the three VZ-IOM menus. And a number of VZ-10M functions feature “graphic editing” capabilites.
5 combination Mode Provides Layered and Split Voicing
‘The VZ-10M's “Combination” mode lets you mix together up to 4 different patches in any of 8 different patch mix
