Re: CZ5000 Sequence Data

Also, I seemed to get an error on the load in the same spot. I hit pause on the playback as soon as that happened and looked at the wav file. On the right track in that spot was a dip--not a full drop out to silence, though. The left track looked more consistent in terms of level, so I cut that and pasted it to a mono track. That version loaded without an error!!!! Hooray.
I then did an MT save and sure enough, the header and the data sections were at the same level.
I took the batteries out of the CZ a few years ago, so I didn't have patches in the user bank; however, I copied a few of the fixed patches to user slots and verified there were notes in the sequence.
Phase 2 would be to play the CZ into a sequencer. I can't see why that wouldn't work, but I didn't try it yet; I wanted to report on the process used to get the data from the tape.
Now that I know what to look for in the wav file to get an idea of the integrity, I could probably try a few more if you want and see if the issues I had with this one are the same.
