Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

hi daniel,

>It might sound a bit silly, but I have problems to dump sysex files from my
computer to the cz1.

with almost all other synths, it would be a silly question. not with cz's.
the cz sysex
implementation requires a 'handshake' connection, so sender and receiver
have to
be active. it is NOT possible to simply dump sysex data to a computer and
send it
back! the send and receive messages are different :-((

if you happen to be using an atari st, maybe i can find an old dumper
routine
i wrote several years ago...

>I also tried to send just a send request like F0 44 00 00 71 21 but I got
no answer from the synth.

this is NOT the right sysex to dump cz data on a computer. your message
means
a cz-1 on midi channel 2 awaits sound data. the patch number and the F7 are
missing, however. i suggest you check the "guidebook for midi", that
peter.ullrich@...
should have on his page, or i can send you the 1.3mb file directly. just let
me know.
