Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

I believe that manual is also on my site:How about this one - I just downloaded the FZF files from the files section. I had minor success using one program to pickup FZ files,but if these files exist then that means that they are being transferred from the FZ...how? And once on the files section - they have a few means to get back to the FZ - floppy disk....lib/editor/sys program...or D plug transfer.....How to get the FZF files onto a floppy that the FZ reads as these are not PC disks?How to transfer FZF using MIDI ox - as this is a similar/same problem as the handshaking one for VZ/CZ - or is it possible to embed the handshakes as before?

      A pdf of the Casio Midi Guidebook (Nov. 1985) is indeed in the files section. If you look at real pp. 39-40 (pdf pp. 40-41). you will see what I mean in my previous post.



Computer to CZ-5000: 

F0 44 00 00 00 70 14 61

"Hey, CZ! Send me a sequence!"

[Note: no F7!!!!!!!]



CZ-5000 to Computer:

F0 44 00 00 00 70 30

"Okie, Dokie. I got a request intended for me!"

[Again, no F7!!!!!!]



Computer to CZ-5000: 

70 31

"Send me a packet of what you got based on my request."

[That's it--no F0, no F7, but its still part of the sysex handshaking dance.]



CZ-5000 to Computer:

{256 bytes of data] 70 32

{data} + "Let me know when you are ready for more."



Computer to CZ-5000: 

70 31

"Send me a packet of what you got based on my request."



etc. until both the CZ sends the final F7

"We're done!"



and the computer responds: F7

"Ok; we're done."



In Cakewalk, I seem to recall piling up a bunch of 70 31 byte pairs, more than I would need to get a full sequence [song] from the CZ-5000.



F0 44 00 00 00 70 14 61 70 31 70 31 70 31 70 31 70 31 70 31 70 31 70 31 70 31 70 31 70 31 70 31 70 31 70 31 F7



As I seem to recall, after each 70 31, the CZ would send another packet and the other "ready--send more" commands (70 31) would just stay in the CZ midi in buffer until needed.



I believe when requesting CZ tone data (patch), you would just need one 70 31 so its there when the CZ says 70 30 ["OK, I got a request from you."]



Hope this helps.
