Excellent advice.  Also test:

1.  Midi in:  Does the CZ-1 visually respond to patch changes via
    midi (in display)?
    --specific test for suggestion above

2.  Midi out: Does the CZ-1 send midi data (note on/off, pitch bend,
    modulation, patch changes, etc.) to a sequencer, utility,
    other gear, etc.
    --If so, the CZ-1 makes an excellent controller, even without
      using internal sounds.

3.  Try sending a sysex patch dump to the CZ-1.  Does that help?

Good luck.  Let us know how it goes.
