This subject has probably been covered before but I don't seem to find an answer to the problem I'm having. After a very long break (about 20 years) I've started mucking around with electronic music again. I have a CZ101 which works perfectly after unsticking some keys and buttons it still sounds deliciously bizarre however I'm damned if I can load and save any patches. I had to reset the thing as the internal banks had faded away but apart from that there does not seem to be anything wrong. I have a MIDI/USB interface to a windows 7 PC and I have verified MIDI messages are sent and received. inc note on note off, program changes etc. Years ago I created some nasty patches and saved them as sysx dumps using Soundlib. I have installed MIDI OX and no matter what I do the CZ refuses to save and load sysx data. I can see note on note off messages being sent. When sending a patck The MIDI/USB interface lights up showing data is transferring however the banks don't change. I've changed every parameter which I think will work but nothing. I've installed soundlib on an XP machine with same result as well as another patch editor yet the keyboard resolutely fails to accept or send any patches. I'm absolutely stumped. Is this a USB problem.
