Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

Hi Steve, Thanks for the info about the VZ. I'm trying to control the individual voice parameters of the VZ with sysex strings, not so much the things you mentioned with CC's. I just found the sysex chart - it's already here on this site! It's in the VZ Docs folder in the FILES section, in individual GIF pages. Also, Fran just sent me the PDF version of the document and I've just uploaded it into that same folder. So we now have it in both formats.

It seems as though the VZ has a sysex command for just about every parameter, starting on p9 of the document. Things like waveform, attack, decay envelope, osc volume levels etc. are what I'm hoping to control, and it seems that the commands are there to do it.

Now I just gotta sit down and figure it out...

Cheers, graham
