In theory- you can edit a CZ file with MIDI-ox but it is perhaps not the
recommended route - I can't recall if CZ's operate a checksum - but if they
did it means calculating it manually - and even if they do not - then
editing individual bytes is possible - but it means referring to the byte
map ( I have it online but the site seems to be down for some reason) - this
is why Charles and myself have been trying to find a way to do an editor.

There are a couple of options - use a retro emulator such as STEEM to mimic
and old machine that has an editor.
Get an editor that runs on your system.
Write your own editor.

Obviously the preferred one is the 2nd one - unless someone has already done
it- then it means learning one of the PC languages such as VB or C etc etc.

I guess most musos are after a plug and play option - and exe file that
allows sysx transfer and editing - to date I have not found a viable one
that has not got bugs. Which is why I was planning on writing my own - I
have got as far as transferring the internal memory of a DX100 to a
commodore machine and breaking down the CZ sysx code to begin planning a
program - either way - that is not for the PC - I believe there was a
program called UNISYN which Bernard was working on -not sure where that is
at.

I can send anyone the programs I have which are PC-based for the CZ - I
think one is DOS based - and the other runs in windows - I have not used it
extensively to say if it is any good. I am pretty sure I got it from the
files section of this forum.

What do you want to do? If you just want to edit a sysex dump, I think you
could use midi-ox. --Steve
