Hi Peter,
You might be interested to know there's a 'meow'-like patch in the JP-8080,
appropriately titled 'Cat Conversation' (P3:B87).
The JP-8080 features a closely similar architecture as the AN1x, with 'FM'
coming under 'X-MOD' (Cross Modulation) and 'FreeEG' the same concept as
'Motion Control'. The only discerning difference is JP-8080 has the
'feedback oscillator' (think guitar feedback tones) and the AN1x has the
'feedback' control which really adds substantial weight to the AN1x's girth.
The AN1x features an extensive effects engine while the JP-8080's is quite
basic, just a level control on the distortion, for example, but does allow
for tempo-matched effects and LFOs.
Ah, but I digress...
After a quick analysis of the 'Cat Conversation' (P3:B87) patch in
question...
Mostly a Pulse Wave (OSC2) through a band pass filter and pitch envelope ie.
"meeeeeoooowwwwwww". It's mixed slightly with a Sawtooth (the infamous
'Super Saw' to be precise) that's stays on the note ie. no pitch envelope.
Hope that helps. Let me know if you come up with anything remotely
successful.
Phil
