Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

Hi Hellmuth,

so nobody did it?
I've read some stuff about virtualizer (soundquest homepage).
And with this you should be able to control  the cz5000 realtime.
However my main goal is to use a Kenton controller (spin doctor).

Another question is should I always send a complete sysex for changing only one parameter?
Is there a way to send a patch change and affect only one parameter without avoid to change / reset the rest of the patch?
This could be a turnaround.

Will try....
