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.
