I worked with Casio in the US on this machine and the FZ samplers when they
came out in '87 I think; and I have the complete Casio 'pro audio' line. 
(now deleted)

PG380 Guitar
VZ1 Keyboard (the VZ10 & 8M are the rack version)
FZ10M's Sampler modules (the FZ1 was the keyboard version)

I still run Notator (C-lab) software on Atari. (If it aint broke..etc.etc.)
At the same time in a different partition I run the Dr. T editor for the VZ
Synth (This is an incredible editor, controlling EVERY SINGLE operator
seamlessly)
This enables me to edit a sound on the computer, send it to the keyboard,
write a RAM card, then stick it straight into the Guitar.

The VZ is one of THE most programmable synth's on the planet. I have many
sounds as described by John. All created almost out of thin air....
There's a great 'randomise' command on the editor, does it all for you, if
you want!  ^_^

BTW
I have had quite a few messages of welcome to this list. Thanks to everyone
who wrote esp. Paulo; and Matthias thanks for the Revox info! Hi everyone!!
Great list Kim! Very friendly people, I must say!
