VZ-8M Single Voice Dumps

VZ-8M Single Voice Dumps

2018-04-17 by cheapmachines@...

Hi

I occasionally like to save individual voices I'm working on from my VZ-8M rather than a whole ban.

In case this is useful for anyone else on here I've uploaded two Sysex dump request files:

https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/CZsynth/files/VZ-8M%20Single%20Voice%20Sysex%20Requests/

Request Single Voice (Normal)

F0 44 03 02 11 10 F7

Request OPMEM Voice

F0 44 03 02 11 11 F7

I use Sysex LIbrarian for sending and receiving these messages - https://www.snoize.com/SysExLibrarian/

Procedure is:

Set Total Control 05 Midi Data Exclusive "On" if not already set
Load the Sysex file into the Librarian and "Play" it to the VZ over MIDI
Set the Librarian to "Record One"
Push the bank position button on the front panel of the VZ that corresponds to the voice you want to save

You should get a single voice being sent back to the Librarian.

I've never worked out the Sysex command to request a dump of the Combination settings, if anyone understands that one I'd be grateful for the Hex / Sysex string info.

Maybe to some, it wasn't to me so thought it might be useful to make a note of it here.

No idea about VZ-8M to VZ-10M cross compatibility I'm afraid.
