Re: [CZsynth] CZ1 keyboard issue

I do not know if this applies to the 1 but the 1000 does the same thing as described when switched off without any backup.
The parameters can end up outside the nominal ranges,resulting in gash characters in the LCD display and the PB going into orbit.
What I have found is that,altering the PB range in the LCD display returns it to a nominal setting and gets rid of the gash characters.
Also - the RESET 'P' button underneath the machine should be pushed in with a pencil or other object to reset the machine - it will have the same effect upon the PB and display.
I do not know if the CZ1 has such a button - but I suppose it does if the 1000 and 101 do.

    I know this might not be relevant but here is one weird thing I had with my CZ-1000 when i bought it..

when I would do a pitch bend.. when it the very highest and lowest values..  it would spike up super high or super low.. i just assumed it was some quirky problem with the bender wheel..

but then i went into the paramters of the synth and noticed something.. the parameter was actually set to 99 somehow.. not +12.. or something like that.. so when i set the value to a correct value.. the pitch wheel worked great..

I don't know how it got to that setting in the first place.. but it was there..  the kind of weirdness you're talking about almost sounds like parameters that somehow got skewed.. so many somehow doing a sysex dump from existing good patches..  or even just going into the various parameters and just adjusting them could restore normal behavior.


Good luck,
Caleb
