Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

Are you sure the program is hanging?

CZ to my knowledge require sysx to be SENT to them before they will give up memory contents.
Whilst mem protect will stop it receiving - that doesn't explain how a program is receiving 0bytes.
I do not know if the 5000 has a sysX SEND function - but I know the 1000 does not. In order to get sysx from the casio,a sysx message is needed to be SENT to it first.

There are some notes on using sysx with casio cz at:

Turn off the memory protect in the bach panel of the CZ 5000.

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.

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".
