Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

i just put a sound bank here in the files section. i´ve programmed
everything on a vz10m, including op-mem patches. please let me know if
the sysex transfer is working for you. i had problems with sending the
complete bank to the vz, so i would like to know if it is ok ...

thanks! phono

I had trouble with the data transfer.  I am not sure why.  Based on 
the VZ-8m sysex manual, the file seems to contain sysex packets as 
follows (all on channel 1):

(1) Multi Channel Mode Data
(2) Open Command (for 64 internal op-mems)
(3) Data 
(4) Close Command (for 64 internal op-mems)
(5) Open Command (for 64 internal voices)
(6) Data 
(7) Close Command

I was able to send the multi channel mode data separately after 
isolating it. Since it is not part of the sysex, I will try 
stripping it from the rest and see if that works. (See below for 
details.)

I verified that the op bank and the voice bank transferred fine then 
cut and pasted them into a vc+op bank. It worked on the VZ-8m.  I 
will upload it in so you can verify that it works on your system.  
If so and you want to repackage your rar file, let me know.  I will 
then remove the file I am posting.

The file contains the correct number of bytes (55958) for a VZ-1/VZ-
10m VC+OP sysex transfer.

--Steve

Technical note: To create the VC+OP file, did the following:

(1) Load VOICE syx file.
(2) Change the open command to:
F0 44 03 00 70 70 02 F7
--02 before the F7 = INT 64 voices + 64 opmems
(3) Delete the F7 from the end.
--so the sysex packet is not terminated
(4) Load the OPMEM syx file.
(5) Delete the open command.
--we already have the modified VC+OP open command
(6) Delete the header for the opmem data (F0 44 03 00 70 74)
--so the opmem data follows directly after the voice data in one 
sysex packet.

I now know why.

the complete sysex transfer is working! so everyone can download the
updated file in the files section now. hope you enjoy ... Phonos VZ
Adventure Vol.1 [beta].rar 


steve, thanks a lot for sysex tweakings. I´ll try that next time when
i have trouble. i wonder where those "wrong" sysex commands did come
from. Did you use midiox for the modifications?
 
I hope you like this little sound bank. I had to clear a few vc
patches, thats why a few are empty within the blocks... i´ve included
your sysex file in my archive and renamed it. so you can delete it.. 

..phono

Glad to hear it; I have removed the file I created now that it is in 
your *.rar file. Hope you get some time to create some more patches 
to fill out the bank.  If you do it piecemeal (due to time 
constraints), I suggest giving the next version Vol.1.001 and 
increasing it every time you add a new patch 1.002, 1.003, etc.

Again, thanks for doing the sysex files!

steve. time is always a big problem. perhaps i should get just a big
workstation like a triton instead of programming old casiosynth with
atari editors. I will do new patches, but programming the vz sometimes
is like riding a stubborn donkey..ehhh? anyway if i have some more
available that i can share with others, i will add it to this
patchbank until it´s not called beta anymore :)
