cse02install - What it is. Also information on CZ1 banks I will download soon..

2008-05-25 by fish2fish21227

I found the cse02install file on other sites so I opened it.  It 
actually is a CZ patch editor program. It probably works on editing 
patches on the CZ101 and the other synths in the CZ series but only 
loads or saves 16 patches in a bank.  The blurb underneath the file 
says the file contains "masses of sounds."  But I did not find any 
patches in the file or included in the program.

I cannot use Midiquest to dump or save patch banks from my CZ1 since 
it does NOT work with my CZ1.  (However Midiquest seems to work 
dumping and loading patches from the CZ101).  I do all my CZ1 editing 
and patch saving using SoundDiver. (Not because it is particularly 
user friendly - only because it Works).

I have been picking through some of the CZ101 banks from the net and 
moving them to form 64 patch bank sets on my CZ1.  I will download 
them to the files section soon in sysex format.  The sounds I have 
been selecting to use in my CZ1 banks are almost all synth pads and 
leads.

The 64 "operation memory" (combination) patches are all "tone mixes" 
combining two voice patches.  SoundDiver has been especially helpful 
with editing the operation memory patches since I have been 
unsuccessful in figuring out how to edit the operation memory patches 
from the CZ1 itself.  I read the manual a couple of times but maybe 
after I read it some more times it will make sense.  This part of the 
CZ1 was very poorly implemented.

Sorry about mentioning SoundDiver as it is not available for sale 
anywhere anymore but like I said Midiquest does not work with the 
CZ1. I posted a utility "SendSX122.exe" a couple of days ago to the 
files section.  This program will successfully load and save banks 
from your CZ1 in sysex format.

I use a PC running Windows XP.  I do use Midiquest 10 for those 
synths that it works with.  (It is very user friendly).
