About

that

has

lot

common

with

This

manual

intended

only

reference

provide

instructions

the

most

basic

operations.

When

you

take

the

unit

out

its

box

for

the

first

time,

you'll

probably

want

connect

external

keyboard,

guitar

wind

controller

equipped

with

MIDI

and

plug

immediately

see

how

sounds.

Once

you're

ready

begin

studying

the

true

power

this

synth

module,

you'll

need

have

basic

knowledge

its

iPD

modular

sound

source

system.

Read

"Theory:

thoroughly

—

you're

not

familiar

with

terms

and

theory,

sure

study

the

"VZ

well.

Next,

you

should

familiarize

yourself

with

the operating

system

controls.

Read

through

the

"Operating

System

Controls"

for

introduction

these

controls.

When

you're

ready

start

using

the

advanced

capabilities,

you'll

need

learn

how

use

the

"FUNCTION

INDEXES".

sure

work

through

the

"Function

Exercise"

well.

These

will

give

you

fairly

solid

understanding

basic

synthesis

operations.

The

FUNCTION

INDEXES

will

invaluable

aid

all

editing

operations.

For

this

reason,

sure

keep

this

manual

handy

whenever

editing

sounds.

Most

importantly,

remember

that

this

manual

meant

only

—

you'll

only

able to

realize
