Thanks a lot, that really works. It sucks, but it works ;)
I first tried to simply assign another midi port to the CZ in
Sounddiver, but I really needed to disconnect the midi cable.

Luckily this works with my CZ-3000 and Sounddiver. My CZ stands in the
corner of my room and is not really easily accessible since most of
the keys are broken anyway (it was real cheap ;))
So far all patches are saved correctly without touching the synth.

Thanks for your help!

Cheers,
Tomas
