Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

Hi,

i installed MIDI monitor + MIDI Yoke and checked with MOTU Unisyn MIDI 
editor which have VZ-8M profile, which kind of results i get from SYSEX 
output.
I changed single parameter which is marked in the picture:

And result seems to be equivalent to what was said in veezee guestbook, 
editor sends lots of data with every parameter change, not just that one 
parameter.


    "I know I saw one of the VZ sysex manuals on line somewhere. It was
    snapshots of individual pages, not a pdf. Try the following places:
    rhe files section here, the files section in the CZ-VZ overflow
    group, Steve and Sally's VZ site."

Yeah, they were here:

    "The Waveidea Bitstream 3X sounds like a very handy controller. If
    the manual is online, could you put up the link? I'd love to take a
    look at it."


I think BS3X is the rolls royce of MIDI controllers! It makes possible 
to assing it's own LFO to what ever parameter, like OP frequency at FM 
synths etc.. motion sampler and arpeggiator are nice too. =)

Neither the VZ1 nor the VZ8 accept single parameter changes via Sysex. 
They do accept single patch changes, but you have to send the whole 
tone/op and if you do that the synth will stop sounding, so you cannot 
change patches dynamically.

The sysex implementation is documented and it was supplied with the 
machines when new, but if you don't have it I'm afraid I don't know of 
anyone who has scanned it in yet, for either the VZ1 or the VZ8. If you 
do find it, be aware that I know of several errors in the VZ1 chart 
(some subtle ones and a major fundamental one), which have been 
discussed on this chat page in the distant past if you look in the 
archive, so it's possible the VZ8 chart may be wrong too.

If anyone HAS scanned in their sysex implementation manual I'd be happy 
to host it on this site.
