Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

yes we were very disapointed when we found out that we could not control via an editor 

it does mention sysex control but no details

i think it would of been implemented but poor sales stopped production of this great instrument

as it is the ion/micron/miniak have more filter options for the va

it amazed me that the alesis other va synths are not compatible program wise

and having a usb interface which could have been used for control with say a bcr2000

but its fixed for hd control only

and yes the manual is misleading when it says the synthesizer section transmits and recieves sysex when in truth it does not

i think because it has a massive hd that it though dumping of data was not needed i have a 80gb drive on mine and both synth engine a and b have 192mb ram

you can get some great sounds as in mix mode you can layer lots of patches together as 1 preset 

i also love the s2 i have 2 1 with turbo and 1 without and it has a very nice polyat keyboard and is great for adding single cycle multisamples

it also has a nice featurew for the drums as you can sink an lfo with the drum hits and it makes them thud great for bass drum hits and 808 sin sustain drum sounds

  Right now I have downloaded manual for Fusion, and in almost 300 pages 
  reference manual there's only simple MIDI Implementation Table, 
  slightly disappointing. BUT: it says clearly that synthesizer section 
  transmits and receives SysEx. So where's truth?

  I can't believe that such instrument hasn't detailed MIDI SysEx spec. 
  Just impossible. Despite the fact that whole manual doesn't mention 
  anything like parameter control or even memory bulk dump.

  Don't expect such editor from my side, I don't have this instrument, 
  and prefer making music, not programming editors. But just as a 
  challenge, if I can have this instrument in my studio for some time, 
  for sure I would attempt to find data format.
