A nice and promising synth with a light 5-octave keyboard, two user assignable control wheels, a bright backlit display and a cool new synthesis name (Interactive Phase Distortion). Too bad that the sound doesn't quite live up to the synth's appearance. I find it almost impossible to squeeze any real power out of the VZ-1 - whatever I do, it will always sound rather thin and harsh. However, if you need a synth to create those brittle and polite synthetic noises (a'la Erasure), the Casio may be just what you're looking for. And also some of the bell-type sounds are fantastic!

Comments About the Sounds:
Casio says "There's never been anything like this". Well, believe me, that's not the truth. The VZ-1 and Casio's own CZ-series synths aren't exactly lightyears apart.
