Re: [CZsynth] The wackiness of CZ sysex

2007-09-08 by Tim Stevens

Hi Josh
The CZ doesn't use MIDI RPN or NRPN for its tone parameter changes but uses
system exclusive tone request and receive messages that are unique to the
CZs. I think it is probably impossible that a MIDI learn option will come up
with the right numbers.
But you don't have the patience to program a CZ?! Come on. They are one of
the simplest digitals to program. Download a manual from somewhere and you
will find that they are p*ss-easy )
