RE: [CZsynth] VZ Editor

Found this on the old Easy VeeZee archive:

 

Hope it helps!

 

 

"There is a checksum on the end of every block of voice patch data (336
bytes) and on the end of every block of Op patch data (100 bytes).

 

To get the checksum, add up every byte in that block, take the last seven
bits (ie MOD 128) then subtract the answer from 128 to get your final
checksum value.

 

Don't forget that all data bytes, and the checksum, are transmitted as two
four bit nibbles and that the HIGH order data is transmitted first and NOT
the Low order data as mentioned in the SysEx manual page 8 (Gotcha!)"

Hi All,

 

more than a year ago I asked for advice on the sysex format (checksum)
because I wanted to create an editor for the monster.

 

The year has passed, and after a long break I took up the project again. Now
I would like to ask the group, if there are interested parties, who would
like to help me by providing feedback on the prototype.

 

It is a browser based graphical editor for the VZ and HS-2 developed for the
chrome browser. Right now tone editing is implemented.

 

*         Only a screen resolution of 1280 * 800 is supported so far, so I'd
appreciate your feedback on your screen resolution.

 

The The 'jazz-plugin' needs to be installed from http://jazz-soft.net/ and
needs to be activated in your browser.

(it is necessary for the low level midi support)

 

Everyone who is interested maycontact me via vz@... for the
details.

 

Kind regards,

 

Pete
