Zo ik heb dit effe gecopy/paste van een ander forum:
I soldered the pins from a floppy cable directly onto the sample chips. when you cross the wires, you get crazy delays, flanging, pitch changes, etc. - but the best part was that sample data would get interleaved. imagine having a snare and a kick playing back simultaneously in a synchronous data stream, ie. alternating bits. fun stuff.
it's very hard to destroy the 707 this way. there are four sample chips: 1 for cymbal, 1 for crash, and two for all the rest. the most interesting ones are the latter 2, although you can solder a couple of wires to the cymbal and crash if you're patient enough.
when you're soldering the wires to the sample chips, you'll notice that all four chips share some common wires, so you only have to connect those on the first chip. some connection will short-circuit the machine (the screen goes blank), but it doesn't seem to cause any damage in the years that i used it.
you can use a floppy cable, hard drive cable, or scsi cable, depending on how many connections that you want to solder. the best part is that you don't even have to cut the case - the cable wedges nicely out the side of it with no modifications
Here's a tame sample - it got much crazier than this:

Medeforumlid Kassen kwam nog met een slim idee om de floppy kabel door een patch matrix te vervangen. Das wat makkelijker. Kosten slechts een eurootje of 6.
