R: [CZsynth] Waveform ROM Hack?

2014-10-29 by F.Manduca

Hi, there!
Yes, indeed would be great! On the other side, I would like to obtain a warmer sound, since nobody would change my mind about the fact that amplification sector of the synth sends out yes, a powerful sound, but with a little plastic feeling. Someone could say " Hey, it's the synth, due its digital nature!". Of course, but any time i hear it, something says me in my brain: " There must be something that could be done, to have a warmer sound from the board"....
What do You all think?
And, OH !!! IMPORTANT !! I saw some years ago on the web a very good page regarding various synths and effects, carefully explaining about a CZ 1 deep editing, made using Sysex parameters, if I well remember, to gain some extra waveforms with resonance. Maybe three or four, can't say now. Nobody remembers it?
I could recall it through Wayback Machine some weeks ago, since it was down. Luckily I could see again the pages, unluckily not all the images and explaination schematics, nor the .sit files to obtain the deep editing on.... SoundDiver, maybe? I tried every way, but all I got was a 3 Kb file for every file I wanted to archive again.And it was a generic file, not the true original.....  :-( .
Sorry for my not-so-good English ( hope I helped, anyway.... )
Francesco.

       If you are happy with only 8 internal PD CZ
 synth..  Can you imagine a 16 internal waveforms
 hack?   
 
 Don´t know if firmware must be reverse engenering but any
 CZ synthesizer with extended waveforms will be and absolute
 beast of sythesizer sound maker.  
 
 Any one knows if possible?   Digital synthesizers
 seems to be harder to hack than olders analogs.  
 
 Discusion open
