Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

yes, I recall there have been problems. What you see is twice the "cz-1
receive request" (21) on channel 2 (71) for the edit buffer (60). Need I say
these are hex values ranging from 0 (0) to FF (255)?

Anyways, I seem to suffer from old age. The CZ uses a handshake system that
is not so easy to handle. So you need to send a message like F0 44 00 71 11
60 F7 from midi-ox, the trash the next six bytes F0 44 00 00 71 30 from the
CZ, then send 71 31 and then record 320 bytes. finally, send another F7.

All this is taken from the "Guidebook for midi" I got from Casio. It is in
our files section.
