Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

Any MIDI pedal which can send user programmable SysEx messages can do  
this job.

For changing the patch you don't need to use SysEx, Program Change  
message is enough good to do this task.

Transposition can be programmed directly in the Patch with Detune  
parameter, you don't need to use Key Transpose. But of course it will  
use memory locations - if you need the same sound in different  
transpositions...

Still I wonder why you want to complicate your life with doing all  
this and not just using dedicated panel buttons on the instrument for  
such simple tasks:-) It's like to try to get to the left pocket with  
the right hand from the backside.

Concerning real time parameter changes CZ instruments were not so  
flexible.
