CZ Editor/Librarian Troubles

2007-06-30 by David

Over the years I have owned several cz keyboards.  I have never found 
a patch editor/librarian software that works correctly with my CZ's.  
One thing is that a lot of them use parameter values of 1-127 instead 
of 1-99 like the CZ.  My main problem however is this:  I create a 
patch in the editor software, I send it to the CZ and some of the 
patch data gets mixed up.  For example the vibrato rate or depth on 
the CZ show the proper values, but the vibrato sound is way off.  If I 
then change the vibrato values on the CZ by 1 digit and then back to 
the proper value, everything sounds fine.  I can send sysex files that 
I have downloaded from the web and they work fine, so I know it's not 
my CZ.  It must the editor software that I am using.  I have tried 
Unisyn, MidiQuest XL 9, Sound Diver and have tried some older apps 
that are difficult to run on my WIN XP laptop.  Does anyone know of a 
current software package that can really send and recieve properly to 
a CZ?  I am getting tired of spending money on a package that lists 
full support for Casio CZ, and then doesn't work right.  Any advice is 
welcome.
