Subject: musical weird noises

I find it easy to make weird noises on the AN1X but the noises are
difficult to play musically.

Likewise I find it easy to make some generic, vanilla leads-just
shift her in legato mode and presto...

The other day I had the brilliant idea of taking the gonzo filter
sweep ring modulator noise and layer it with the lead. I played with
the attack and the volume and some free eg so the noise built up
gradually with a little sustain. A metallic sound with a sustain
almost mimics a plate reverb-a gloriously cheesy one. This patch
gives a good useful lead sound with some evolving craziness in the
background. The big test will be to try this live with the band. Live
a lot of the special effects just turn to mush.
