Tell me about "eastereggs" found in any of the CZ synths

Tell me about "eastereggs" found in any of the CZ synths

I would like to hear about all eastereggs that have been found so far.
I know the most talked about are the hidden waveforms but is that all
there is? What else could possibly be there? All input is welcome :)

OK, you have my interest.  What the heck do you mean by eastereggs (in 
connection with the CZ)?

Easteregg = a hidden features and function which can not be accessed
under normal operation but by midi sysex and/or pressing certain
buttons in a certain sequence. I personally like how my CZ101 screws
up the parameters to very extreme settings when it loses it's memory.

Not documented AFAIK, mono triggering of envelopes like the
old analog monosynths. Set the CZ to "solo" mode, turn on the
portamento but set the portamento time to zero. Now when you 
play your solo line, staccato paying retriggers the envelopes,
but legato playing does not. Usefull when doing bass guitar 
lines with slurs to lower notes. Hidden feature. Works great!!
