Can't get sysex to work with a CZ-5000

2013-08-07 by dedlandar

Hi, I'm rather new to MIDI and synthesizers in general. I have a Casio CZ-5000 I'm trying to transfer sysex patches to with a Hosa USM-422 V2.1 MIDI>USB cable. The programs I'm using are MIDI-OX, Bome's SendSX, SoundLib, And CZedit, and the OS is Windows XP. Other functions outside of sysex seem to be working- I can control VSTs, key on/off messages and preset patch change messages appear in the MIDI-OX window. And using the CZ Edit program, I can change the presets on the CZ-5000 by using the dropdown menu. 

But whenever I try to send or receive sysex patches with any program, nothing happens. If I try to send a patch the program may say "128 bytes sent successfully" or something, but nothing happens on the CZ-5000. If I try to receive sysex the program just hangs at "0 bytes received".

I am following the Kasploosh tutorials-

Are there any "everything but sysex works" troubleshooting tips anyone can point me to?
