RE: midi help needed




I don't have any of the equipment you mentioned so I can't say first-hand,
but if the Casio CZ-5000 has a MIDI-OUT port and your Alesis Quadraverb has
a MIDI-IN you're on your way.

Connect the MIDI-OUT to the MIDI-IN and hit a key of the keyboard and see
what happens.  This is a place to start, next look for settings on these
devices to select how MIDI information is sent and received [this is
different for different equipment].  In theory you should be able to 
control
the effects unit with your keyboard and controllers.

I guess, try it and see what happens!!
Good Luck...

scott.......thanks, much info here.........i know nothing of midi so this
was
a pretty deep read, hexadecimal systems, what the heck!.......i feel dumber
everyday.......but i do have a question........i have an old casio cz-5000
that is midi and an alesis quadraverb 2 that is also midi.....can i make 
the
casio act as a "controler" that will change the paramaters on the q-2, sort
of like the expression pedal on the zoom 2100?.........i can see where this
would be a very good thing, my loops could sound wackier.......im sorry if
this is like talking about "strings"............:)..........michael
