Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

I like the lightshow idea! Of course if you have a Yamah PSR or Casio LK etc then you get the same thing.
The other way of enabling patch changes on notes is to have a program that monitors the MIDI out and checks for notes and sends patch changes for a given note to the MIDI in - I suspect MIDIox could cope with that. None of this is peculiar to a CZ.

there is no such thing as a specific program change on every note 
function. prog changes are included in the MIDI spec so are not a 
function per se of the synth unless it is incapable of accepting prog 
change commands. The thingy is a sequencer like cubase which sends out a 
prog change command to change a patch. say you have a piano sound on a 
patch and at some stage in the song on the same track you wish to now 
play a brass sound on the same instrument but a different patch. You 
simply send out a prog change. What I was doing to amuse myself was for 
every note in a sequence I would send a prog change. The CZ has 16 
assignable patches (I didnt have a cartridge) and I would send out 16 
prog changes in rapid succession. As an interesting side effect I also 
had a LED lightshow on the CZ.
