VZ sysex transfer error messages and VZ file sizes

2005-01-16 by steve_the_composer

I found a copy of an old message I posted that may be helpful in 
transferring VZ patches.  --Steve

Here are the error messages I have been getting when sending VZ sysex 
data to the VZ-8m. (See my previous message about channel and data 
type matching.)

Message: --TRANS ERROR--- | CHECK SYSTEM!
Problem: Data channel <> VZ receive channel
Solution: Change VZ channel to match sysex file data.

Message: --MIDI ERROR--- | RECEIVE ERROR
Problem: Data type transmitted <> Data type expected
Solution: Select proper data type when loading data type into VZ.

For the VZ-8m, I have the following SYSEX data sizes [received from 
VZ]:

65661 = FULL [Voice + Op-Men + Total]
65644 = VC+OP [Voice + Op-Mem]
43094 = VOICE
22672 = OPMEM

The VZ files posted in files are 55958 which I assume is the VZ-1/VZ-
10M VC+OP size.
