some quick ideas that most people know about and that I explain poorly :)

SUPERSAW
Your goal here is to take noise and slow it down so it makes an oscillator wobble and slowly drift in pitch +/- 30 cents, greater drift for a fatter sound, smaller drift for an edgier sound. You need to overdub your oscillator 8 to 16 times to create the supersaw effect. I don't own the MOTM-101 so the "Slow" noise may or may not give the right wobble and drift. Note that the pitch can't ∗just∗ wobble, it also needs to drift! If there's no drift, you'll get a less pleasant spread of pitches when overdubbing. Takes a bit of trial and error to get the right wobble and drift, helps to have a tuner to see if you're drifting and not just wobbling.

NASTY FILTER
Creates a nasty filter sound.

BUBBLY FILTER
Like above, except you are slowing down the noise so it creates a bubbly or warbly effect

RAIN, OCEAN WAVES, WIND, BOILING FX
Expiriment by using a slew limiter or lowpass filter before the filter fm input and overdubbing with different settings to create wind orchestrations. I've created extremely realistic rain using digital synths and fx. It requires overdubbing. I'm not sure how to achieve this in the analog world, but it also requires that the noise/audio source is somehow shaped to create pops and clicks as well as having the standard SHHHHH sound. I'd love to try doing this analog.
