Re: Best backup battery solution for CZ-1000?

2016-07-23 by smw-mail@...

>> i'm going with a 2032 approach where i can replace batteries without soldering ever again.

I like this approach (assuming it will work). I have some older gear that has soldered batteries I can no longer find, so maybe putting in a CR-2032 holder somewhere inside might work!! Thanks.


>> plus i've had more gear be destroyed or nearly destroyed by those barrel shaped batteries.

Excellent point. I have one VZ-8m with a dead battery (but no leaks or corrosion that I could see from peeking inside). I just sysex data when I need it, but it might be good to pull the battery out anyway to avoid possible corrosion/leaks.

>> my comment about memory is complaining to casio for only giving a user 16 patches to work with internally.. come on man.. that's just bad.. and i thought yamaha f'd up when they gave the tx7 32 slots. :)

No complaints about the low polyphony count on the CZ? ;-)

How about the lack of F7 at the end of sysex commands which use handshaking? JMO, but that is so much worse.
