[CZsynth] Any CZ users in MI?
2004-02-23 by jbrave
I did something silly - I bought a CZ-1 off ebay, but the conditions were that It be picked up and they wouldn't ship it. I was thinking I might know someone who could pick it up, but I really can't think of anyone. If anyone lives near Flushing MI who would be willing to do me a favor, please let me know. Joel

Subject: [CZsynth] CZ-5000 Sequencer Memory Structure
Long time CZ list members may recall my previous posts within the
past year or so about the CZ-5000 sequencer memory structure.
Background: In the second half of the 1980s, I dabbled in writing
midi programming (mostly using sysex) in Commodore 64 (6502/6510)
assembly language. I began with the CZ-5000.
One project was the start of a program to do software manipulation of
sequencer memory dumps. Toward this effort, I mined the sequencer
dump and got as far as writing a routine that would bounce one track
to another track.
Although a full-featured graphical editor was possible (and indeed
still is) I stopped development.
On this board I previously mentioned having my original notes for the
cz-5000 sequencer memory structure. However, since I could not find
them, I concluded that I may have thrown them out.
Good news: I found them. So, if anyone is interested in writing
software to manipulate sequencer data, my material could save you a
couple of hundred hours of mining the dump format.
BTW: Although the CZ-5000 sequencer was limited to a maximum of 8
voices, I seem to recall that when transmitting note data via midi
there was no such limit. If I remember correctly, you could have
more than 8 voices coming out simply by manipulating the number of
voices listed in the track map.
If anyone uses the CZ-5000 sequencer, a number of possibilities
exist, such as a standard midi file to CZ-5000 sequencer dump
converter, or vice versa.
If there is any interest, let me know.
