Transmit SysEx via PedalBoard to CZ-101

2016-04-14 by tk3811@...

Hi, all!


Thanks for existing! This is my first post here. I have owned and loved my CZ-101 since the mid-80's but, I have not played it in a (startup) band until now.


My request for advice is:


I want to send SysEx messages TO a CZ-101 to change the patch and other setting including KEY TRANSPOSE via a MIDI pedalboard (like a guitarist) and NOT use a computer on stage (programming it at home is fine), what brand/model programmable MIDI controller system would you recommend I use and why?


If you don't know how to solve the pedal board aspect of the problem,

any suggestions would be appreciated (since I haven't yet learned how to send my CZ101 any SysEx data).


Thank you for reading!

From the following webpage, I learned that it is possible to change settings like KEY TRANSPOSE via SysEx messages:
