Re: [CZsynth] Waveform ROM Hack?

I'm pretty sure this is the page/site being referred to, and even if it isn't it is fascinating reading for all CZ fanatics!

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"....

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?

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..... :-( .
