Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

Midi control by using an external M-Audio Axiom USB KEyboard might be 
a nice idea, but why don't you try a simple USB-MIDI Interface and 
connect the CZ to the PC with it.
Then do the controlling by software. This might be cheaper.

Additionally I have to say that I read very often that people 
recommending Midi-Interfaces for the joystick port of the soundcard.
This things are really antique and not worth the money.
There are 2 simple reasons why USB-Midi-Interfaces are much better:

1. the latency time is much slower with the joystick port-adapters

2. USB-Midi interfaces are getting cheaper every day.

I recommend the EDIROL UM-1ex (I have it for my self).
This Interface has a new FastTrack Midi Technology and is very easy 
to install. Driver CD comes with it.


By the way....I added some more sections in my forum
