FM of a self-oscillating filter is excellent.  My favorite 2600 patches
were based on a two-osc FM chain onto the filter... all kinds of
screaming sidebands, dense clouds of bleeps, and squashy rhythms.
Totally irreproducible, of course.

Has anybody analysed FM with a self-osc filter as carrier?  I bet it's
different from standard FM, because of the ringiness in the filter's
response to modulation.
