About

this

Manual

While

you

may

not

realize

it

quite

yet,

the

VZ-10M

is

an

incredibly

complex

digital

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

VZ-10M

operations,

‘When

you

take

the

VZ-10M

out

of

its

box

for

the

first

time,

you'll

probably

Want

to

connect

it

to

an

extemal

keyboard,

guitar

or

horn

equipped

with

MIDI

and

plug

it

in

immediately

to

see

how

it

sounds.

‘Once

you're

ready

to

begin

studying

the

true

power

of

the

VZ-10M,

you'll

need

to
