Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

So, while the ultimate mystery has been solved (my very first MIDI loop!),
turning the CZ1's MIDI button on or off seems to have not effect on the
issue. So far I can only "kill the loop" by unplugging one of the MIDI
cables (IN or OUT).

I'll have a look in the Manual right away to see how to turn the Local off
internally, perhaps the answer lies there . . . or perhaps this is something
I should be solving with my MIDI routing within Logic Pro, as the loop is
killed once I close Logic Pro, even with both the IN and OUT MIDI cables
plugged into the CZ1 and the computer?

Wow. All this trouble-shooting. I just want to make some music!
