Re: 'LCD Cursor Position' Sysex command works but it is not enough

2008-05-03 by steve_the_composer

Glad the scanned pages helped with understanding what's going on, 
even if they don't lead to the goal you want. The CZ-1 just can't do 
it, it seems.

> The sysex table I saw online is for the CZ-101, the CZ-1 may be 
different.

Yes, they are different. I am not sure if I have a matrix with all 
sysex commands and the various CZs they work on. I will look when I 
get a chance.

> Did you find references to any command for changing parameter 
values?

Nope. CZ patch parameter data does from memory into what's the "Sound 
Area." Editing software that writes to the Sound Area does not 
destroy any stored presets until you write them to various memory 
locations. Unfortunately, I don't think you can write just one 
parameter into the Sound Area; you have to write a whole set of patch 
parameter data which triggers sounds from the start. Therefore, you 
cannot maniuplate parameters on the fly--which is what I think you 
(and others, such as myself) would love to be able to do.

I am quite busy this weekend, but will try another look. To the best 
of my recollection, the ones on the websight had all the commands 
that were in my CZ-1 sysex manual--a photocopy I got from tech 
support, complete with handwritten notes which I assume are Japanese. 
Anyone here know Japanese?
