Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

Narfman,

Yes, I have been using the patch dumps you made for several months
now, along with some others I found on the net, along with just making
sounds.  I really appreciate the work you did on organizing them, and
that you made the work available to everyone.

I've been trying to find a way that I can do some similar work to what
you did.  I want to go through the big sea of patches and group
similar ones together.  This would make them even more useful to me.

What happens is I get to a part in a song where I want an organ voice,
so it would be nice to have a sysex dump that was 64 organs to choose
from.  Other times I need a synth lead, so it would be nice to have a
dump of 64 leads.  And so on.

So I'm currently trying to find a way that I can crack open the sysex
data and rearrange it to my liking.  I talked about my false starts in
this message:
