Using my 300 and (highly controversial) Doepfer A-111 osc.'s I've gotten
some pretty convincing 1-operator DX-ish timbres. However, you'd basically
need 12 osc's, adsr's and VCA'a to really do DX-style FM (2 apiece for each
of 6 operators), I'd rather just use my TX-416, which I got for just a
little more than the cost of 1 MOTM 300...
