Hello Mats,


People who use computer may have long known the 'extended' feature. I 
only recently began to use computer for music. Maybe, there have been 
few people who have both computer and SysEx document...

Some CASIO crews may have hoped the extended features to be utilized - 
as they were so proud of their original synth engine.
But as I suspect, they may have first implemented whatever they could, 
and then tailored or curtailed them to set up a user-friendly interface.

For the extended features appear to have some 'underground' quality. 
They are sometimes too noisy and imperfect, considering the fact that 
CZ was introduced long before the arrival of the lo-fi-worshipping era. 
'Alternate modes' could be more useful today than those days....


Best,
Sealed
