How Do I Name a Patch on CZ-3000?
Forgive me if this is a silly question (I have checked the manual), but how do I give a custom name to a patch I've created on my CZ-3000? I just picked it up yesterday and I am still learning its ins-and-outs.

Re: How Do I Name a Patch on CZ-3000?
That's all you get from those early digitals from Casio. Seems like it should, as it does have a two row LCD display, and the ROM presets have names. The only CZ that could save patch names was the CZ-1. Really typical of the early days of patch memory. Most synths from that time only saved a number to locate your patches.Italo_DX wrote: All I get when I save the patch is:

Good trivia question though. I wonder what was the first synth to save patches with names.

Yikes! Thanks for the info. This is the only synth I've owned with an LCD that didn't allow custom names. As to the trivia question... I know my DX21 allowed custom names and it predated the ESQ-1.

My pre-MIDI Kawai SX-210 has patch names with alphanumeric LED display...Z wrote:Ensoniq ESQ-1 ?CZ Rider wrote: Good trivia question though. I wonder what was the first synth to save patches with names.

DX-7 has patch naming too. Looks like Kawai is the oldest so far?
You can name patches in any computer editor (CZ Librarian, Galaxy, Sound Diver and MIDIQuest are the ones I've used, back in the nineties mostly) and they are preserved in the CZ-3000. Dump them over to a CZ-1 and voila- there are the names. CZ-1 velocity and AT settings are preserved as well.
If you like the 3000, get a CZ-1. Quite a bit more fun, mainly with the layering- 64 locations to store them with detune and level settings. 3000 only lets you store one layer, and no detune.
