Re: [CZsynth] Re: CZ5000 Sequence Data

I have been looking at the Knut Roll-Lund TRS-80 material, such as:

http://knut.one/wav2cas.htm

It might be worth following the steps to record the data from a CZ cassette to a PC and then run the wav2cas program. If it works, I'd look at the binary tab to see if the hex dump resembles sysex data, specifically the CZ sequencer data, I'd do it myself, but I'd have to find my CZ data tapes--which might be upstairs in the attic where they might have gotten subjected to summer heat over the span of a decade or two (and therefore might be corrupt).

The sample screenshot seems to show a basic program via the analysis tab. That's why I suggested looking at the binary tab.

The suggestion to record the tape onto a CD and send the CD to someone with a CZ-5000 is another option that might work like sending someone a wav file.
