Casio File Compatibility


Casiokid

Recommended Posts

Why are not all Tone Files compatible across all Casio instruments that support the same file derivation?  (ie ZLT, ZPF etc...)

 

Some ZLT Hex tone files, that have not been generated on the MZ-X500, don't seem to load and a 'WRONG DATA'  message comes up.  Some recent forum user downloads are a case in point.   Obviously ZPF are not compatible with the MZ.

 

Any comments?

Short answer, each model is different in it's sound architecture. We can manually port some sounds, others we cannot because waves or synth programming is unique to one model.  

 

ZPF is not really a tone itself. It's a performance setup on the XW series and stage settings on the PX-5S.  In the case of PX-5S, ZPF files can contain edits to preset tones that have not been saved as user tones.

Thanks Brad for the explanation
