Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

Unfortunately I was hoping to use it to make programming new sounds quick and easy, rather than performance oriented filter control etc. Anything is better than nothing though, I guess.

I suppose I could use the BCR to change a parameter by changing it and then do an "all" dump, in the way the VZ expects, and resend every time I tweak a control  - not exactly real-time, but maybe better than menu diving.

Cheers, Graham
