Casio's

All-new

Sound

Source

Casio's

all-new

"Interactive

Phase

Distortion"

(iPD)

sound

source

system

actually

consists

of

8

independent

"mod

ules"

(Ml

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;

to

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

succeeding

line.

The

VZ-8M

features

Casio's

exclusive

multi-channel

mode

which

can

accept

up

to

8

from

separate

MIDI

sound

sources.

These

can

then

be

divided

into

About

this

Manual

H

While

you

may

not

realize

it

quite

yet,

this

unit

is

an

incredibly

complex

digi

tal

synthesizer

that

has

a

lot

more

in

common

with

a

personal

computer

than

it

does

an

"electronic"

musical

instrument.

This

manual

is

intended

only

as

a

reference

to

provide

instructions

on

the

most

basic

operations.

When

you

take

the

unit

out

of

its

box

for

the

first

time,

you'll

probably

want

to

connect

it

to

an

external

keyboard,

guitar

or

wind

controller

equipped

with

MIDI

and

plug

it

in

immediately

to

see

how

it

sounds.

Once

you're

ready

to

begin

studying

the

true

power

of

this

synth

module,

you'll

need

to

have

a

basic

knowledge

of

its

iPD

modular

sound

source

system.

Read

"Theory:

iPD

Modular

Sound

System"

thoroughly

—

if

you're

not

familiar

with

basic

sound

synthesis

terms

and

theory,

be

sure

to

study

the

"VZ

Sound

Seminar"

as

well.

Next,

you

should

familiarize

yourself

with

the operating

system

controls.

Read

through

the

"Operating

System

Controls"

for

an

introduction

to

these

controls.

When

you're

ready

to

start

using

the

advanced

editing

and

sound

data

storage

capabilities,

you'll

need

to

learn

how

to

use

the

"FUNCTION

INDEXES".

Be

sure

to

work

through

the

"Function

Index

Practice

Exercise"

as

well.

These

will

give

you

a

fairly

solid

understanding

of

basic

synthesis

operations.

The

FUNCTION

INDEXES

will

be

an

invaluable

aid

in

all

editing

operations.

For

this

reason,

be

sure

to

keep

this

manual

handy

whenever

editing

sounds.

Most

importantly,

remember

that

this

manual

is

meant

as

a

reference

only

—

you'll

only

be

able to

realize

the

true

power

of

this

unit

as

you

apply

it

to

your

own

musical

performance.

Important

Terms

Throughout

this

manual

you

will

encounter

terms

(words)

which

you

may

—

or

may

not

—

be

familiar

with.

Before

jumping

into

the

operations,

it's

important

to

make

sure

that

you

understand

the

basic

usage

of

these

terms

in

this

manual.

Take

a

few

moments

to

read

through

these

words

and

become

familiar

with

them

—

you'll

find

it

will

enhance

your

over

all

understanding

of

this

unit.

A

displayed

list

of

the

various

FUNCTIONS

you

can

use

to

edit

sounds.

There

are

three

basic

Menus

which

can

be

selected;

the

VOICE

PARAMETER

menu

(VOICE

menu),

EFFECT

menu,

and

TOTAL

CONTROL

menu

(TOTAL

Any

of

the

items

listed

on

the

menus.

Each

Function

contains

a

variety

of

PARAMETERS,

and

is

identified

by

a

two-digit

number.

For

example,

Function

02

in

VOICE

PARAMETER

menu

contains

parameters

related

to

detuning.

A

constant

control

which

features

variable

levels.

These

parameters

control

not

only

data

that

affects

the

various

components

of a

sound,

but

also

aspects

of

the

overall

setup.

The

level

or

setting

assigned

to

an

individual

parameter.

The

iPD

sound

source

features

8

independent

"modules."

These

can

be

thought

of

as

independent

—

but

interrelated

—

oscillators

with

controls.

Sound

source

MODULES

work

together

in

"pairs."

These

pairs

form

what

is

known

as

an

INTERNAL

LINE,

or

simply

"line."

For

example,

Module

1

and

Module

2

(Ml

and

M2)

form

Internal

Line

A

—

known

in

this

manual

as

LINE

A.

M3

and

M4

form

LINE

B,

etc.

In

addition

to

using

the

output

of

any

LINE

to

create

audible

sounds,

you

can

uti

lize

the

output

to

modulate

the

succeeding

line.

For

example,

the

output

of

LINE

A

can

be

used

to

modulate

LINE

B.

This

configuration

is

known

as

"External

Phase."

(Refer

to

"Theory:

iPD

Modular

Sound

System"

for

details.)

With

analog

synthesizers,

a

"patch"

literally

referred

to

the

way

in

which

various

synthesizer

blocks

or

modules

were

hard-wired

(hooked

up).

With

digital

synthesizers,

this

term

has

come

to

refer

to

completed

sound

data

which

can

be

output

by

the

synthesizer.

In

this

manual,

you

can

think

of

"patch"

as

referring

to

any

complet

ed

sound

data

coming

from

modules

1

through

8.

An

operation

memory

is

literally

a

full

"multi-timbral

setup"

or

"performance

setup",

complete

with

specifications

for

multiple

patches

(when

desired),

keyboard

and

velocity

split,

MIDI

settings,

etc.

The

onboard

memory

allows

storage

of

128

preset

operation

memories.

A

voltage

which

changes

as

a

function

of

time.

Envelopes

are

generally triggered

by

controllers,

and

are

used

to

shape

the

amplitude

(volume)

and

pitch

of

a

note.

A

particular

operational

function

or

condition.

In

"VZ

language",

there

are

4

bas

ic

operational

modes,

including

the

NORMAL

mode,

the

COMBINATION

mode,

the

OPERATION

MEMORY

mode, and

the

MULTI

mode.

Each

of

these

serves

an

independent

Theory:

Flow

of

Operations

ji

Although

the

VZ-8M

features

a

complex

operating

system,

it

has

been

designed

so

that

actual

operations

are

quite

simple

—

after

a

few

hours

you'll

be

amazed

at

how

simple

the

unit

is

to

operate,

and

how

versatile

it

is.

In

order

to

appreciate

the

beauty

of

the

VZ,

it's

important

to

have

a

clear

initial

understanding

of

its

basic

"flow

of

operations"

—

in

other

words

the

basic

order

of

operations

you

will

probably

want

to

follow

to

make

the

most

of

this

synthesizer.

Simply

speaking,

operations

can

be

divided

into

four

different

types

—

these

correspond

to

the

four

basic

operational

"modes"

—

the

NORMAL

mode,

the

COMBINATION

mode,

the

OPERATION

MEMORY

mode

and

the

MULTI

CHANNEL

mode.

You

can

select

any

of

these

modes

by

pressing

the

corresponding

key

on

the

front

panel.

After

selecting

the

MODE,

you

can

select

But

before

you

start

pressing

keys,

take

a

few

moments

to

read

through

the

following

text.

This

should

give

you

a

clearer

understanding

of

the

relationship

between

the

different

basic

modes.

NORMAL

MODE

The

NORMAL

mode

is

what

you

might

think

of

if

you've

used

a

"nor

mal"

single-patch

synthesizer

that

does

not

feature

the

extensive

sound

layering

and

memory

capabilities

of

the

VZ.

The

NORMAL

mode

can be

further

broken

down

into

two

sub-modes

—

the

PLAY

sub-mode

and

the

MENU

sub-mode.

In

other

words,

you

can

"play"

or

perform

normally

in

this

mode,

or

use

any

of

the

three

editing

MENUs

to

edit

and

create

individual patches.

In

the

PLAY

sub-mode,

you

can

freely

choose

any

of

the

sounds

con

tained

in

the

VZ's

preset,

internal

or

card-memories,

and

use

it

in

perfor

mance.

If

you

want

to

edit

the

sound,

you

simply

select

any

of

the

editing

MENUs

which

contain

a

wide

range

of

"FUNCTIONS"

for

sound

edit

ing.

Whenever

you've

selected

any

of

the

three

editing

MENUs,

you're

working

in

the

"MENU"

sub-mode.

The

NORMAL

mode

is

the

basic

performance

mode,

where

"patches"

created

through

the

modular

sound

source

system

can

be

selected

and

out

put

individually

for

1-patch

performance.

You

can

make

use

of

the

wide

range

of

the

sound

effects in

this

mode,

for

expanded

performance

versa

tility.

You

can

also

use

the

NORMAL

mode

to

create

new

patches

by

altering

values

for

existing

patches

and

writing

them

in

either

the

internal

or card

memory.

Or

create

entirely

new

sounds

by

initializing

a

memory

area

and

programming

values.

Once

you've

created

sounds

you

want

to

save,

you

can

write

them

to

one

of

64

internal

memory

areas

in

the

NORMAL

mode,

or

to

an

optional

RAM

card

which

holds

as

many

as

64

sounds.

One

important

thing

to

remember

when

you

select

the

NORMAL

mode

is

that

you're

working

with

only

1

patch

at

a

time

—

you

can

recall

one

patch

at

a

time,

edit

one

to

COMBINATION

MODE

The

COMBINATION

mode

is

a

"buffer"

(for

those

with

computer

ex

perience),

or

"work

area"

where

you

can

"combine"

the

patches

you've

created

in

the

NORMAL

mode

to

make

detailed,

multi-timbral

setups

featuring

keyboard

split

point,

velocity

split

specifications,

and

individu

al

effect

specifications

for

each

patch

in

the

setup.

The

COMBINATION

mode

can

be

further

broken

down

into

two

sub-

modes

—

the

PLAY

sub-mode

and

MENU

sub-modes.

The

PLAY

sub-mode

is

selected

for

normal

performance,

while

the

MENU

sub-modes

are

selected

for

further

editing

of

sound,

effect,

and

multi-

timbral

setup

data.

In

this

work

area,

you

can

select

up

to

8

different

patches

created

in

the

NORMAL

mode

(preset,

or

those

you've

created),

and

arrange

them

freely

to

create

a

multi-timbral

setup.

The

"arrangement"

of

these

sounds

is

ac

complished

by

choosing

from

any

of 9

different

KEY

ASSIGN

settings,

which

feature

both

SPLIT

and

LAYERED

patch

arrangements

(see

"Per

formance/Editing

in

the

Combination

Mode").

A

variety

of

the

functions

can

be

used

to

determine

keyboard

split

points,

as

well

as

velocity

split

for

each

patch

in

the

sound.

Effects

can

also

be

set

individually

for

each

patch

in

this

mode.

What's

more,

relative

amplitude

levels

can

be

set

for

each

patch,

allowing

total

control

of

"balance"

within

the

multi-patch

sound.

This

unit

is

designed

so

that

you

can

quickly

and

conveniently

arrange

the

patches

you

use

in

the

multi-patch

sound

—

if

you

don't

like

what

you

hear,

you

can

choose

a

replacement

patch

or

delete

it

from

the

sound

altogether.

One

important

thing

to

remember

when

you

select

the

COMBINATION

mode

is

that

you're

working

with

up

to

8

patches

at

a

time.

Another

im

portant

point

is

that

the

COMBINATION

mode

is

only

a

"work

area,"

where

you

can

"work"

on

one

"combined"

(multi-patch)

sound

at

a

time.

MULTI

CHANNEL

MODE

The

MULTI

CHANNEL

mode

is

basically

a

performance

mode,

which

makes

advanced

use

of

MIDI

—

the

Musical

Instrument

Digital

Interface.

The

VZ

is

capable

or

receiving

MIDI

performance

messages

two

basic

ways;

(1)

with

8-note

polyphony

wherein

all

notes

and

performance

data

trans

ferred

uses the

same

MIDI

channel

(MIDI

mode

3

—

omni

OFF/poly),

and

(2)

with

8-note

polyphony,

wherein

each

of

the

MIDI

Multi

Channel

Areas

(1

—8)

is

assigned

an

individual

timbre.

In

this

status,

each

of

the

8

areas

is

monophonic.

Each

AREA

can

be

assigned

an

independent

sound,

a

polyphonic

value

(maximum

number

of

note

which

may

sound

at

one

time

for

the

speci

fied

area),

output

level,

and

the

MIDI

Receive

channel

number.
