Subject: Re: [motm] Creating Super Saws???

You could just take a '300 oscillator and send its pulse output to the '120,
and take the output from the '120 and plug it back into one of the '300's FM
inputs. The '120 changes state once per cycle, so each cycle of the 300
ends up with a different period, repeating over 16 cycles. Tweaking the
various sub levels and the overall FM level gives you a variety of effects.
Changing the FM amount changes the "average" tuning because (I think) the
'120 doesn't average to zero, using AC coupled FM1 reduces that effect.

I don't know if its the effect you're looking for, but it sounded
interesting to me.
