David,
I agree with your observations on the CZ-101 completely.  I believe that
it is the best possible tool for an introduction to programming voices
on a fully compatible MIDI synth.  

I wanted to add a few lines to your original message regarding software
availability for this machine.  Hybrid Arts sells a patch Librarian for
the CZ that  runs on the Atari computers.  The combination of the Atari
computer, the Hybrid Software and interface (MidiMate), and the CZ-101
makes an incredibly inexpensive yet powerful combination for entrance
into the world of MIDI.  You can also run a 10,500 note sequencer
program sold by Hybrid on the Atari 130XE that has amazing features:  16
tracks, cut and paste editor, looping functions, record and transmit
MIDI commands over 16 possible channels,  External sync capabilities
that include SMPTE time code or click track from tape, write click track
to tape for sync purposes, external clock divide function for sync to
drum machines and other devices (and of course, you can save all of that
to disk).  That entire package can cost less than $1000(much less than
an IBM PC by itself) if you purchase from a dealer participating in
Hybrid's current special on the CZ-101 ($250).  I have more details if
anyone out ther is interested......While the CZ is not as good as my
DX7, it can make some interesting sounds unique unto itself.  I think
you will agree that it can provide hours of fun and music making for
kids of all ages!!!!
