Well, as Jeremy Clarkson from "Top Gear" said about Countach, it's like a woman in bare you hang poster of on the wall: it alwys looks better than the real thing.
From descriptions VZ looked like a holy grail of modulation: ring+FM+mix - would be cool, eh?
It isn't!
Don't get me wrong, just hearing "See God", "PrimalScream" or "Heavy Metal" makes you certain of what power this baby posesses, but there's always that bitter aftertaste when you start editing - one step too little.
So, FM is always 1/2 ratio, LFOs for amplitude and pitch are global, and eight-stage envelopes where you can set your own sustain point... are not loopable (and if they were, that would be the most powerful machine ever- displacing the mighty Yamahas SY/TG 77/99).
And of course the nightmarish editing, it's a tragedy...
I just love it, and then just hate it...
