Just wondering what might be the wildest mod ever accomplished on a 
casio CZ series synth?

Michael Oster, of F7 Sound, has pictures as well as soundsamples, of a 
really great circuitbent CZ-101 on his website.

I didn't do a hardware mod, but I did a custom software application 
with my CZ-5000 a decade or so ago:  I routed the midi out through a 
computer (not sure it was my Commodore 64 or my 8088 PC) and back 
into the CZ. The CZ local was off and the recive was in mono mode. I 
had a keysplit table that basically provided for a different patch 
on each key (infinite keysplit). I had a buffer that would send out 
a patch change on an open channel just before playing the note. So 
with 16 note-polyphony, I could play the keyboard live and have as 
many as 16 different patches going at once.

Again, it wasn't a hardware mod, but do I win the award for wildest 
software processing of the CZ midi flow?
