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

Okay, I've got the initialize button working again; I just soldered some wires to the switch contact and run them out the battery connector so I can connect those wires when I need the switch. I'll use this until I get a replacement switch.

I also replaced the LCD with a blue backlit LCD. It works and looks a lot nicer, but now all the symbols used in the sequencer mode have been replaced with Japanese writing (Which I can actually read, but they don't seem to mean anything)  Also, I now have 16 steps in my DCO2 envelope, marked by symbols, letters and Japanese characters.

I did the system initialize procedure and sysex still doesn't work. I did Steve's test procedures, and the IN window never displays anything. However, when I pressed the glide button, it actually did receive that sysex message, and the "bytes received" message on the sysex scratchpad goes up in increments of 8. I guess that's some sort of progress... Does that mean my cable is okay?
