Well, some good news in terms of phase 1: getting the sequence to load properly into the CZ-5000. It took a number of tries and simple diagnosis of your wav file. On my recordings and the sample from tinyloops, the header tone and the data are at about the same level. On your sample, the header is at a lower volume. I am not sure if recording with AGC on (or maybe NR) would have caused that.
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.

Hi Steve,
This is good news - and I appreciate the time and effort you are putting into this. If you are happy to do a few more I'll save some more wav files down. Is there anything I could do to make this easier for you or shall I just do the same as I did for the 1st one? Once again, many thank's
Sean
P.s. I'll post an update when I've saved down a few more files.
