Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

OK, I haven't any reason not to trust you.

There's a lot of false or inaccurate statements on the internet pages.

And sometimes there's wrong or missing information even in official  
manufacturer's documents and manuals. I have found enough of them.

Yes, I know about Casio F7 mistake.

For sure I didn't claim that "SysEx on Casio CZ gear doesn't work". I  
just quoted manual and one web page stating that CZ5000 sequencer data  
can't be sent as SysEx dump. I haven't CZ5000 so I can't verify this.  
Your experience can vary.

99.44 looks well for both time and certainty.
