Casiokid Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Saucier Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LEOGO Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 hi, ZPF files (usually converted piano samples) work properly in MZX-500 now. I'm using a piano sample named pianocho.ZPF file loaded as a piano in my new MZX500 and works pretty well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Saucier Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 To be clear, the original post was about files from other models, and my response above was about ZPF files from other models. Those are entirely different than ZPF files for the MZ-X series. On the MZ-X models ZPF files are piano specific tones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
