Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

Thanks. Already tried the separate instances on MIDI ox but no go. It 
doesent help that MIDI ox is extremely flakey running on XP. I also had 
terrible latency and just ended up using the onboard PC sound chip which 
is OK as my 50 year old ears cant tell the difference and I'm just 
playing around at the moment. Interestingly the latency is severe when 
playing the onboard general midi sounds but VST instruments are suberb.

The OUT instance sends the prompt to send code from the CZ to the PC and the IN instance picks it up using manual sysx dump.Sending sysx should not be a problem unless (1) applies.
