Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

This is so odd--evidently your usb-midi cable receives sysex from the CZ but doesn't send it to the CZ. As I understand what we have discussed, the cable sends and receives note data and continuous controller data. 

As for me, I have some older MOTU parallel port midi interfaces as well as an e-mu 2x2 (usb) interface. I also have an older emagic mt4 (usb) interface that used to work with Windows XP SP1, but somewhere around SP2 or SP3 it stopped working.

By any chance are you handy with simple circuits and simple programming? If so, you could build your own usb-midi interface with a microprocessor such as an arduino.

If you have a free PCI slot, you could get a PCI-based midi card, or a sound card with a joystick port and a midi/joystick cable. I would think that any $3.00 card should work--but maybe someone has one lying around that they don't use. I'm not sure how much the midi/joystick cables are going for these days.

Of course, it is possible that the problem is in the CZ.
