Re: [CZsynth] lock up problem(was OT: dw8000)

2005-02-13 by josephex@josephexperimental.com

Kind of funny you mentioned MIDI...I have problems with sysex I noticed.  I can 
transfer patches from the synth to the computer using a CZ 101 librarian, but not vice 
versa.  Fortunately, I can key in the settings manually.  I kind of think this problem 
may be related.

turning the prg change off does not do anything for me though.
