Original Message 1/12 11-Apr-00 @ 01:52 PM - Multitimral FZ1
I've just brushed the dust off of my FZ1 and decided to try and use it with my PC. I'm running Cubase 3.7. This is basic stuff but I can't get it to play as a multitimbral instument. I have a bank set up with sounds on different midi channels but can only get one sound to play (on channel 1). Is it a setting in cubase or do i need to be in a certain 'mode' on the FZ1. I would be really grateful for any help.
Thanks,
Andy
Thanks,

if U R sdaying U already have accessed a section of ther synth that sets sounds/to/channels, then prolly look in the main global or midi menu for a switch to change from global midi to multi-part midi mebbe?.. just a guess cos i dunno that synth, but they all work like that

i dont have an fz but i do have a vz. the multitimbral page is on menu 3 in the midi set up page. the note assignment isnt dynamic, ie if you set ch1 to 4 note poly that is all you get. the fz might be the same. check out the fz pages in harmony central, there is still a lot of fz support out there.

ps i will try to get a page for you

Hi Andy,
Here is what you need to do
(in the FZ's menu):
PLAY--> Effect/MIDI--> MIDI Function--> and enable "AREA" in receive. When it is set to basic all areas in a bank respond to the same MIDI channel. When area is selected, each area of a bank will respond to the corresponding MIDI channel.
Good luck,
Mike

Message 5/12 08-May-00 @ 02:42 PM - RE:FZ-10M port upgrade?
I have a FZ-10M, and would like to know
if there is any inexpensive SCSI upgrade
available. I would like, for instance,
to transfer samples from an external Zip
drive instead of using the FZ's floppy
drive. Is an adaptor cable available, and would software be needed?

Hi Vic,
I don't believe the FZ-10M has a SCSI port (it uses the same DB25 connector like the FZ1). Just for the record the FZ20M does have SCSI.
There is no cable that allows you to connect a SCSI Zip.
The only alternatives I can think of are to get a copy of Andreas Goransson's FZ File Transfer Utility (a nice program that uses MIDI) or Jeff McClintock's FZ-Dump (DOS version supports FZ-MIDI Dump Cable). Jeff's site seems to down at the moment but Andreas' site can be found at:
http://hem.passagen.se/highpuls/index.htm
Andreas' site has some great information on it, and is well worth the visit.
If you want a copy of Jeff's FZ-Dump just send me an e-mail and I'll e-mail you a copy.
Just for the record, both programs are freeware.
Good luck, Mike

To Mr.Mike,
I tried sending you an email at your
address, Notelt@Juno.com, but got a failure notice. Therefore I am posting
the letter on this forum.
Thanks much for the info. Your geocities
site is excellent. I would greatly
appreciate if you or any else could
answer some additional questions:
1) Does the McClintoch PC-FZ Dump Cable
Box use the FZ's DB25 parallel port or MIDI port?
2) Is this cable a faster method than the "Goranssions FZ-File transfer
utility via MIDI you described?
3) Where can I purchase the McClintoch
cable or obtain DIY plans to build
one?
4) Would it be possible (or be worth the
time & effort) to connect a Parallel
Zip drive or parallel CD-ROM drive
(if such an animal exists) to the
FZ's parallel port, and write some
Optional software for the FZ that
would at least allow 1-way sample
"dumps" from the Zip or CD to the FZ?
The Zip or CD drive would be controlled by the FZ front panel via
the Optional software. This would be
excellent for live performance; and
the Zip or CD-R files would be edited
and organized on a PC left at home.
Also, how much faster would the ZIP
or CD drive transfer be compared to
the FZ internal floppy drive?
Thanks very much.
Vic

Does anyone know where I can obtain a
copy of the Casio "Conversion tool from
Object File to FZ-1 Program File" program disc? I believe this is used
along with a compiler to write optional
software for the FZ. Much thanks. Vic.

Hi Vic,
I tried sending you an email at your address, Notelt@Juno.com, but got a failure notice.
Don't know what happened. Please try again. Sorry about that. The price I pay for free e-mail I guess ;)

Thank you for your kind words.
I would greatly appreciate if you or any else could answer some additional questions: 1) Does the McClintoch PC-FZ Dump Cable Box use the FZ's DB25 parallel port or MIDI port?
The PC-FZ Dump Cable box uses the FZ's DB25 parallel port (connects between the computer's printer port and the FZ). This only works under DOS.
2) Is this cable a faster method than the "Goranssions FZ-File transfer utility via MIDI you described?
Yes. A 1 meg download/upload via MIDI is about 12-13 minutes. Via the PC-FZ Dump cable it is about 60-90 seconds. If you are going to be moving more than 3 or 4 samples you can quickly see the advantage of using the cable.
3) Where can I purchase the McClintoch cable or obtain DIY plans to build one?
You have to build the cable yourself. It is a simple project (just connecting wires) but take your time building it. And triple check all connections before using it. The plans are included in Jeff's zipped DOS version of FZ-Dump.
4) Would it be possible (or be worth the time & effort) to connect a Parallel Zip drive or parallel CD-ROM drive (if such an animal exists) to the FZ's parallel port, and write some Optional software for the FZ that would at least allow 1-way sample "dumps" from the Zip or CD to the FZ?
Parallel version CDs do exist. It would probably be a fairly difficult task to do something like this. I think it would be MUCH easier to get a old laptop (even an old 386 would work nicely) and build the PC-FZ Dump cable. Parallel ZIPs are around $100- you should be able to find a used 386 laptop for under that easily. The PC-FZ Dump cable is very inexpensive to build- I got a DB25 male to DB25 male cable, cut it in half and did all the wiring in a little blue plastic box from Radio Shack. All told the cable was under $10.

It would be excellent, but it would require a lot of engineering. You would still have to build a converter cable too. The dumps are faster using the PC-FZ Dump cable, I've never timed what it takes to load a 1 meg floppy- but via the cable it is 60-90 seconds.
