Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

Hey Lee, thanks for your input, though it won't help much, as it would be a pain to record something from any outboard synth, whether by manually rescaling velocity values, or using MIDI-out from PC with additional software latency.

Perhaps there is someone with CZ-1 who could confirm, whether this synth has factory limited max velocity value to 96, or there is something wrong with mine?

If the idea is to use the CZ as a controller which goes into a software composer/recorder program - MIDI-ox can be YOKED to the program- that is - pre-process the midi info altering 0-96 to 0-127 before it reaches the composer program.

What I've noticed is that many patches (on other synths) programmed to be expressive with different key velocity sound "different" when played at full velocity. I've connected CZ-1 to DAW, and noticed that no matter how hard I try to struck the keys, the maximum velocity it outputs via MIDI is at 96 level.
