I suppose that anything is possible...
 
Would anyone be interested in a 'SIMM' that had a usb interface and a 2.5mm 
audio plug which allows you to have audio input directly from the outside and/or 
from a computer as a USB audio device? It would give you four audio channels (2 
stereo channels) which are just passed to the module for processing live.
 
This is not sampling just making a 'wave' available from outside the box.
 
The only problem [?] is that the waves would only be available while the module 
is playing a note. That is, the SIMM is configured with four 'waves' which can 
be put in presets, and the SIMM offers up 'live audio' instead of something from 
ROM. You can create your own presets with those waveforms so that you can select 
the filters/effects that you want to apply. [but sound only comes out when you 
play a note]
 
How much would you pay for such a thing?
 
I was thinking of implementing such a thing in any case, but I can raise the 
priority if there's sufficient interest.

Subject: [xl7] Re: Modding: ext. audio being affected by xl sounds

  
That seemed intuitive but good to hear it from the source.

A better question is are there any equivalent external effects boxes which can 
mimic the z-filters?

For speculation, what sorts of things can't the z-filters do that can be 
performed with external effects?
