I purchased the SubstanCZe set (Human League, OMD ad MD sounds), and they really are as good as the demos make them out to be. Very much worth the money!

They're in Single patch 264 byte long files which I had to use Alfonso Hermida's "CZ Sysex Editor" from 2000 to get them to load properly (I'm using Windows 10). I briefly tried Sounddiver, but with no luck so far.

Hermida's program transfers the sound into the Edit Buffer, so you have to manually save the patch into the on-board or cartridge memory slot of your choice.

Oh, Casio - why did you make transferring these sounds so difficult! My dream is that one day Casio do a reissue instrument with parameters controllable by SysEx. It'll never happen. Maybe Korg will do a VolCZa!

Thanks for the feedback Daniel! I'll have more patch collections out in a few months including a free one of sounds inspired by a popular synth band.
