And if you want more inharmonic stuff, don't ignore patching the VCOs
to each other. In fact, you can create a self-running patch with
just two VCOs cross-modulating. Same idea applies to your filters:
get them to self-oscillate then cross-modulate with another filter or
VCO or both. Add the 101 PINK out to FM2 of one of the filters for
further fun.

Many many many possibilities with your setup!
