Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

I am interested in "circuit bending" and actually bought a few sk-1s 
and an sk-5 to that end.  Modding the cz-5000 sounds awesome.  How do 
you know what NOT to short circuit in an irreplacible instrument...how 
do you know you aren't going to trash the whole enchilada?

with extensive modification in mind. So far, I have only scratched the 
surface, but the first set of bends/mods that I have found would be 
beneficial to any CZ owner, I'm sure. Right in the center of the board, 
there are 5 or 6 small chips-- they may be DCO chips, I don;t know. 
Jumping across several points on these chips resulted in 
various "thickening" effects--- the equivalent of turning up the filter 
resonance on a subtractive synth, and also added great sublime 
repeating envelope artifacts. Each point seemed to affect a slightly 
different timbral range--- perhaps different sideband frequencies. I 
plan to wire several points up to pots to make the "resonance" 
variable.
