Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

HUH?

"you cannot use USB MIDI for reliable sysex dumps with anything that expects bidirectional traffic."

This actually proves that bi-directional communication using usb-midi is more reliable than bi-directional human communication.

As I understand the phrase "reliable sysex dumps with anything that expects bidirectional traffic," your statement that "you cannot use usb midi for reliable sysex dumps with anything that expects bidirectional traffic" is a totally false statement.

However, as you understand that phrase, clearly you believe it is 100% true.

Ergo, there is no way we can communicate. 

To each of us the other is wrong. Fortunately, the testing I did proves that using usb midi, I did reliable sysex dumps with the CZ which definitely expects some handshaking (bidirectional communication). I am comfortable with that.

Again, if you can produce any testing to verify your broad sweeping claims, I am willing to listen.
