Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

Thanks for the information, Steve! Why I don´t use sysex dumps? I 
explain: 
1. I don't know how to work with sysex, because I don't have any 
contact (yet) with the right PC programs. I don't have any MIDI 
experience yet... just because:
2. I don't have a computer (PC or Mac)yet! In fact, our band recently 
buy a synth with lots of midi comands. Not is a CZ synth 
(sorry...!)... It's a Roland D50. Here, in my country, it's too hard 
found one CZ synth, even on the net! I found on e-bay, but nobody 
ship out of the Europe or USA... Well, the tapes, for us, still are 
one easy (and cheap!) way to protect our musics and continue to use 
the internal memory of the RZ-1...
Another thing: I don't found here the DIN with 8 pins! It's a alien 
thing in this place!(hehe)

I promisse, when I buy a PC, I gonna use your MIDI conections and 
programs to edit sound and store data, ok? If you give me a hand...

Great! Many many thanks for all the help and advices. I hope give 
some information to help someone too...( And sorry for the wrong 
english gramatic, ok?...)

Michael.
