Re: [CZsynth] Re: fz10m midi sysex header and data specifications for sample/wave swapping

2010-07-23 by Lee Borrell

Yes I think it is the flowchart page - sometimes ADOBE numbers the page differently than the actual document as it includes the intro pages - so they can be up to 10 pages adrift of the actual page number - it may well be page 41 of the doc - yes it was a flowchart of handshaking - I know in principle what they are talking about,as the CZ was supposed to do it - but when I dump from the FZ to MIDI-ox it is preceded with 16bytes that are not coded as SYSx (ie no F0) - and when I try Andreas's program - 16 bytes get sent - and then there is a TIME OUT - so I presume the program is waiting for an ACK from the FZ - which it never gets - there is reference to "REMOTE MODE" which I noted it was in when the DUMP was being done - but I do not know how it got into that mode.

they even have a flow chart diagram for the handshaking ,

just enlarge your buffer to handle the dump

seems to work ok for me on the cz101 using a similar
call/answer handshaking.

try this to work
page 41 of this little gem
casio_data_structures.pdf

i don't know which page 30 you are refferring to

The protocol on page 30 is correct I think - trouble is it details the
handshaking and "REMOTE" mode - but I have no idea what the Hex is for
this - I think Steve's doc shows all the hex - so it is a matter of working
thru it - when I tried a dump to MIDI ox it produces some bytes that do not
show up as SYSx - it's all in the dox - but it is more complex than standard
dumps,I think my brain may burst. :-)

no you and summa have been a great help , i have a day or two off work so i
will roll the system back and find whats involved.

my plan is to basically make the fz dump program , but for an atari computer
.

i guess you'd need a hard drive to store all the data on witht the atari ,
but i use the emulator on my pc
to work out ideals then transfer to atari

as for page thirty i would trust any thing some one has written unless you
try it for your self.

I came across that site - but didn't notice the doc- thanks for that. It's
page 30 I am having problems with - that details the protocol - since the
dox I have for the CZ have bypassed all the handshaking I am wondering if
the same can be done for the FZ.

It looks like people here have given you some excellent docs. In case you
want more about the FZ, you might try:
http://www.buchty.net/casio/index.html . He has a copy of the FZ programmers
reference there. I think it is less user friendly than the docs others have
posted here, but it is available if you want it; it might have some details
the other docs don't have.
Good luck to you.
Steve
