Re: VZ sysex bulk data transfers and error messages

2004-09-05 by steve_the_composer

Footnotes:

VZ-8m data transfer VZ-1/10m data first then VZ-8m specific data. So, 
if someone tried to send VZ-8m data to a VZ-1/10m, the voice and op-
mem data should load.

Here's the dump sequence:

F0 44 03 00 7A 70 02 F7
[open communication for 64 voices and 64 op-mems on channel 11] 

F0 44 03 00 7A 74 . . . [data] F7
[VZ-1/10m common data on channel 11]

F0 44 03 00 7A 71 F7
[close communication on channel 11]

F0 44 03 02 7A 70 03 F7
[open communication for 64 voices, 64 op-mems, and TOTAL CONTROL on 
channel 11] 

F0 44 03 02 7A 74 . . . [data] F7
[VZ-8m specific data on channel 11]

F0 44 03 02 7A 71 F7
[close communication on channel 11]

The first 3 sysex commands should be understood by all VZ. The last 3 
should be ignored by all VZs except the VZ-8m.

Hope this helps.

PS: I listened to the factory patches [Files] and wasn't impressed 
with a few exceptions.  I have my own patches--some tweaked, some 
totally original.  My original patches tend to be spacey, wild, and 
pan/timbre effects using the mod wheel for control.  My tweaks tend 
to be variations customized for a wind controller [DH-100].

If others have good patches you have designed yourselves (esp. spacey 
sounds, sfx, wind controller sounds), I would be interested in 
swapping.
