Casio VZ V6 MIDI CC chart, NRPN and OSC map

The Casio VZ V6 MIDI implementation: 9 CC, 2 SysEx commands, each named, for Claude (MCP), SuperCollider or any OSC app.

Device Casio VZ V6
Vendor Casio
OSC prefix /casio_vz_v6
Source πŸŽ›οΈ Derived from an Electra One community preset
Revision per Electra preset
Upstream electra-preset
Driver file devices/casio/casio_vz_v6.json
Not tested on the device yet

This driver comes from documentation or community data and has not been checked on real hardware. If you own one, a quick test and a pull request promoting it helps everyone β€” see CONTRIBUTING.

How do you control it?

Find the MIDI ports, then start the bridge with this driver:

osc-bridge detect        # prints the ready-to-run line for what is plugged in
osc-bridge run --device devices/casio/casio_vz_v6.json --out-port <N> --in-port <M>

Then send OSC to 127.0.0.1:7777, for example:

osc-bridge osc-send /casio_vz_v6/mod_wheel 63

From Claude or any MCP client, the osc-bridge mcp server exposes this driver as casio_vz_v6: ask β€œwhat can the Casio VZ V6 do?” and it reads this map with list_routes. See the MCP guide.

Frequently asked questions

How many parameters of the Casio VZ V6 can be controlled over MIDI?

SynthHub's map of the Casio VZ V6 lists 9 MIDI CC parameters, each with its number, range and a readable name; the full chart is on this page.

Can an AI agent like Claude control the Casio VZ V6?

Yes: SynthHub's hosted MCP server knows the Casio VZ V6's MIDI map, and its browser relay lets the agent send it parameter changes or load a sound, each sound change confirmed by you.
