if you just want to play the soundblaster sound with your CZ-1000,
plug an appropriate cable into MIDI OUT of the CZ and into MIDI IN
of one of the sound cards. I assume you have a sequencer program
that records and plays back midi and/or audio? Popular sequencers
would be Logic (alas, not on PC anymore), Cubase, Cakewalk,
Sek'd Samplitude (those are commercial, professional programs),
or Jazz (freeware and almost professional).

If you want the sequencer to play the CZ, you need another cable:
MIDI OUT of the soundcard to MIDI IN of the CZ.

As the CZ cannot send the local off message, it has to be sent from
the PC, that is the sequencer. Then the CZ sound is independent from
the keyboard.

If you want to know more about MIDI, there are plenty of sites on the
web: e.g.
http://crystal.apana.org.au/ghansper/midi_introduction/contents.html
http://www.midi.org/ (official site)
http://www.borg.com/~jglatt/tech/midispec.htm
Just google "midi specification".

If you want to know more about the CZ midi implementation,
there is the CZSYSEX.ZIP in our file section, folder CZ-Docs.
It contains the "Guidebook for midi" by Casio.
