Re: CZ-1 Easter Eggs

Wow!!! Great work documenting this!!! Any sort of editor for the CZ-1 
would be awesome. I use Unisyn and Midiquest and had to get a hack for 
each one to work at all with this synth. Midquest still can't do the Op 
Memory and Unisyn will not work with XP. Loads of fun!

Remember the envelopes from the front panel only use 0-99. Sysex can 
send 0-127 and the synth accepts it. This can really bring out the 
harmonics and with all the wave and window functions you found the new 
sound possibilities are almost endless. I'm willing to bet with your 
sysex expertise there's more hacks in there someplace...
