CZ Pack 1: 20 Patches for Casio CZ Synths

CZ Pack 1 contains 20 separate sysex files, each containing a patch for your CZ. The patches work with the CZ-101, CZ-1000, CZ-3000, and CZ-5000. The sounds were all designed using CZ Touch (a precursor to Patch Base), but you don't need it to use these sounds! Any sysex transfer program will do.

Questions

Which synths do these patches work with?
Currently these patches will work with the CZ-101, CZ-1000, CZ-3000, and CZ-5000. I don't think they'll work with the CZ-1, but I'm working on that.

Do I need special software to use these?
All you need is a program that can transmit sysex files from your computer to your synth. If you have a Mac, then Sysex Librarian is an excellent (and free!) program to use for this purpose. On Windows, MIDI-OX is probably the most popular (and also free).
