Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

No problem. I wish I had that info about 10 years ago - I would have 
spent more time with it. The sequencer was the reason I bought it in 
the first place! I just started loading sysex sounds into it using 
MIDI-OX and it has given it new life. It is only loading 16 patches 
per dump into User banks A & B, though I can still save in C & D.- 
I'm not sure if that is normal. But i'm glad I never got rid of it. 
It's hard to part with your first synth !
