MidiQuest XL and the Casio VZ-1

MidiQuest XL and the Casio VZ-1

2012-02-16 by cwjall

Does anyone know how to receive a dump from a VZ-1 using MidiQuest XL?

and what is the size and number of the buffers to use?

I have been using midiox to send sysex bank to my VZ-1 with no problem, but I would like to learn how to program it. Midiquest seems to be my best choose.

If someone knows a better patch editor for the VZ-1, please let my know.

Thanks,
Jammy

Isn't MidiQuest a commercail program? If so, I'd contact them for customer support. They'd be the best source of programming advice, I would assume.

Thanks Steve, 
That would make sense. Just wanted to find a quick answer, my dealings with tech support operators haven't always worked out, example; the Casio rep I spoke to about problems with a WK-500 didn't even know what a VZ-1 was. But I'll give it another try.

Hello,

This is procedure I usualy do with my VZ-1 and Midi Quest.

Before all of this, check hardware MIDI switcher on your VZ-1 (near MIDI
interface) and set it to ON!

1. Pres MENU 3 button and with YES button go to MENU 3/ 01 (MEMORY PROTECT)
and set OFF for both Internal and Card memory protectio (press Menu 3
button, then with Cursor and Yes/No buttons select and change from ON to
OFF)
3. Pres MENU 3 button and with YES button go to MENU 3/ 03  page (MIDI
send/receive) and put ch 01 on both send/receive options
4. Pres MENU 3 button and again, and with YES got to MENU 3/04 page (MIDI
DATA). Press again MENU 3 button and with CURSOR buttons go to EXCLUSIVE
option and select ENA (change this with NO/YES buttons)
5. Pres MENU 3 button and with YES button go to MENU 3/ 02 (SAVE/LOAD page)
and go to Load/Save option, if you want to receive MidiDump set LOAD (for
transmit MidiDump set SAVE). CARD/MIDI option set to MIDI. Setting DATA
option depends on MIDI sysex information you want to send to VZ-1. There
are 3 options:  VOICE - Normal Voice, OPERATION MEMORY or both
Voice+Operation. If you not sure what kind of Data Dump you send to VZ-1
try all of them, one by one.
6. On the same page (MENU 3/ 02) go to EXECUTE and press YES, then start
transmitting MIDI Sysex data to VZ-1. You must do that manualy.

Here is my VZ-1 Preset Demo on YT, I collect them with Midi Quest

Sorry for my bad english and enjoy!!!
