Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

(1) The hex numbers you see in the display are ascii representations of the the number; the sysex file has the actual hex values (not ascii/text representations of the numbers). That may be why copying the text does nothing. I believe that if you use midi-ox, can see the text representations and save the actual numbers into a syx file.

(2) Simple test (if you can play standard midi files to your CZ). Try the CZ-101/1000/3000/5000 version of Dr. Steve's Patch Test. Does it work properly? If so, try the CZ-1 version. Does it cause the CZ-101 to shut down? If so, don't use CZ-1 patches.

Hope this helps.
