what your saying is true but im not talking about pulse width
modulation in this case. don't forget that my vco2 is a sine wave and
because of that the pmod depth acts as x-mod (cross modulation)
not pulse width modulation like the other waveforms.

anyway, that's a cool tip on the funky vibrato!

thanks anyway,
elektro dan.
