VZ SysEx Format

2014-01-05 by <facebook@...>

Happy new year to all,

I spent some time during the holidays setting up an smal HTML5 based framework which is intented to act as a librarian for the VZ sound patches.

Going through the specs I came over the checksum, which isn't described in detail in the CasioVZ-HohnerHS Sysex Format.pdf.

Can anyone help me out on the details here?

My idea:
Create a little helper to rearrange existing sysex files, which will (in the first step) be consolidated in a new sysex file to be uploaded.

My progress:
So far I can drag and drop sysex files into the GUI and extract the tone and op names of the banks, also a re-arrangement is possible (from gui side).

My need:
Any help on the internal sysex format - especially on the check sum.

Technology:
HTML5 so anyone could use it. Upload to the VZ would still need an external tool but maybe HTML5 will support that, too in the future.

Me:
I have a VZ10m, HS-2, CZ-3000 and an HT-3000 in my set-up (besides D-110, X3R, AN1x, Phm and sonic|core Scope 5)

Any help is appreciated,

cheers,

Pete
