It does it in hardware but it's highly-integrated digital hardware.  I'm not 
familiar with the internals of the CZ-synths but it wouldn't surprise me at 
all if the LFOs, envelopes, as well as the sound generation stuff was all 
contained on one chip, making it completely impossible to add anything.   In 
all likelihood it would be easier to model the entire synth in software and 
add features to that (like FM7, there's no way you're going to get 
freely-definable algorithms, or whatever, on a real DX7, it's just not 
possible without re-creating the entire instrument).
