:) Welcome to my world. Isn't the 120 the bee's knees?
Paul, it get's even more fun if you use a drum machine with trigger outputs,
or use triggers from a separate unit simultaneously with the drum machine.
For example--take a Korg DDD-1 (or KPR-77 or Roland TR-606, -808, etc.) and
send the output into the 120; then take one trigger from the drum machine
into the 800. Send the other into the sync trigger input of the 320; send
the output of the 800 into FM1 of the 440, output of 320 into FM2--see what
I mean? Play around with the step on which the EG triggers sit (syncopation,
etc.) and the depth to which each modulator controls the 440. You can create
some really great filter sweeps over an entire measure with "bumps"
corresponding to the EG triggers. You can send the EG into the VC Q input so
there are resonance "spikes" at different points... and on and on.
This is how I spend my evenings :)
David.
