Re: CZ5000 Sequence Data

Yes--both the wav and the cas methods worked with a short 4 track sequence that I saved and reloaded into the CZ-5000.

Another advantage of the cas method: the files are quite small. The 1,864 KB wav file sequence became 5KB was a cas file.

BTW:
--I did not normalize the wav file. I did trim the beginning so the wav2cas program saw the carrier wav [header] right away.
--Other than the spikes at the start and the end of the FSK data (i.e., not the FSK header), the audio was about -15/-16 dB.
--I knew that the CZ can handle bogus data input via sysex; now I am wondering if it can be some by manipulating the cas files.

Thanks for posing the problem of how to get your CZ-5000 sequences as midi files; I learned a lot in the process. (And if you want to post some cas files I can try to play realtime into a sequencer, I can give that a try.)
