Notes on CZ sysx:
1. I have had terrible problems with latency (delays in TX/RX of midi) on Win XP onwards - I do not know whether this has been solved in Win7.
2. When transferring SYSx to a CZ using MIDIox you need TWO instances of MIDI ox open at one time. One connected to the OUT port only and one connected to the IN port only. 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.
3. Sometimes altering buffer sizes in MIDIox helps - in particular with sysx sample dumps which are longer than standard patch dumps.

There is a SYSx manual and info at :
http://templarseries.atspace.com/cz.html
and also two links "defeating CZ handshaking" which details the use of TWO instances of MIDIox.

Footnote: On another forum some people have suggested that some usb interfaces do not pass on sysex. I don't know if that's the case here, but you should be able to test that--send a sysex dump to midi-ox. If it doesn't see it, the usb interface is blocking sysex. (You say that note on and program changes work, but did you test sysex messages?)

As Summa suggests--use manufacturers' drivers, not Windows

Also, are your dumps pure sysex, or did the software you used alter the data in any way?

If you can, upload a sample patch bank for others to test.

Hope you can get it working.

Steve

PS:   I never had a CZ-101. Does it have a memory protect switch?
