 That's not so simple as you cannot send your data to the computer and then
send
them back to the CZ anytime - they differ. You have to know which byte to
modify,
and I do not think you can automatize it with a sequencer. It is such a
quaint format!

Hi.  I've just dusted off my old CZ-5000 and brought it into my MIDI 
setup (currently a PC with Yamaha DB50XG, USB-MIDI controller, Roland 
FP-3 Digital Piano).  Unfortunately I'm not sure what I should do to 
get the most out of my old synth.  I've see files with programming 
patches in, but dont know how to get these into the synth.

I got my synth about 18 years ago (can it be that long?!) as a school 
kid.  It was amazing at the time, but since then I've forgotten about 
it until now.  I'm sure it can bring something to my setup, if only I 
can make the best use from it.  I've also got the Casio drum machine 
(was it a RZ-1?) - which I guess could also come in useful?

Any advice/comments/pointers for a newbie?  It would be most welcome!

Many thanks,
    Pete.

I have had a little success with a program called "sound lib".

I have an old CZ-1000 and I could only get it to load one bank.

The 5000 might be able to use cakewalk.  That is what I would like to use to 
get my synth to load sysx files.

I found Sound lib through the synth zone.  I will warn you, the program is 
just about as old as your synth.
