Casio CZ-5000 Editor Help

MIDI Setup

The CZ-5000 has an internal setting to enable or disable sysex communication. This needs to be enabled for Patch Base to work:

  • Press the MIDI key
  • On the lower-right part of the screen, you should see "PRG=ENA". If you see "PRG=DIS", change this setting.

Also, in the "Global" section of the CZ-5000 editor, there is a MIDI Channel setting. You must set this to match the MIDI receive channel on your CZ. This is shown on the lower-left of the same screen as the setting above. It will show "CH=" and the number of the selected channel.

Also, in order for the CZ-5000 to receive sysex data, the memory protect switch on the back of the unit must be set to off. Otherwise its default β€œon” position will block incoming messages to protect timbre data from being overwritten.
