Bell/metallic patches are really fun to do on the MOTM. There are
many ways to get something interesting but here is a suggestion for a
starting point:
∗ Fire up a 300, use the SINE out. Put another audio SINE into FM1,
EXP mode. I use the 420 with RES cranked up all the way for this but
you could use any other oscillator.
∗ Run the output of the 300 to a 440 (or other filter). Chop off
highs to taste. I use an 800 to shape the filter response: very fast
attack, slower decay.
∗ Run the output of the filter into a VCA, again shaped by an 800
with fast attack and slow decay.
Now you can:
∗ Play with the frequency of the modulating oscillator for fun and
profit. Add an envelope to shape the response.
∗ Play with the filter settings.
∗ Play with the 800 settings.
∗ Modulate another 300 with the output of the 1st 300 (!)
∗ etc.
