I'll have to see what texts I have. Wendy Carlos discussed this subject a
lot in interviews (see Keyboard and EM) when her "Beauty in the Beast" album
came out. I used to have some great books on acoustic physics, and one in
particular about the physics of ethnomusicology. But I loaned them to a guy
in 1990... you know the story...
I can get gamelan-like tones using AM, FM, even a little ring modulations I
guess, but the partials still don't line up with any particular scale. Who
knows, this stuff may not be feasible without a lot of computer control.

I would be quite interested to know more about this! Do you have any
references I could look at in this regard? One thing that occurs to me at
the
moment is that many of the metalaphones present in gamalen music might be
seen as having an FM or AM component to them. Have you looked in to
mimicking
this behavior via AM and FM?
