Vibrato Rate
Using SysEx, CZ can produce much faster and slower vibrato.
Vibrato fastest (Normal)

Vibrato slowest (Normal)

Vibrato Depth
Vibrato can also be much deeper.

CZ's normal Vibrato is already powerful, and using SysEx, it comes close to 'Cross Modulation' - FM.
It is similar to Roland JV's FXM - Frequency (Fixed) Modulation - audible range vibrato with a square wave.

Detune
Normally, CZ's detune range is +/- 48 semitones.
Using SysEx, the detune range can be +/- 127 semitones.
Highest detune
Ring modulation with highest detune
Ring modulation with lower detune
Modulation with very high frequency enables to produce the sound which almost only FM and additive synths can create.
Ring modulation with lower detune can be useful to imitate Amplitude LFO.
Envelope End Level
CZ has 8-step envelopes, and Sustain/End point can be freely assigned to any step.
Officially, Envelope End Level has to be zero.
Due to this limitation, the release segment of the sound inevitably decayed slowly.
Using SysEx, more sustain points can be set to one envelope, and the second sustain level becomes the End Level.
It would be useful when creating a stable release segment, especially with the pitch envelope.
Note that normal CZ fails to sustain the pitch after key off in the sounds below.
