Subject: Interesting programming trick

From: "Dave Bradley" <daveb@...>
Date: 2000-04-12

Last night I discovered a cute trick. Set a filter to high resonance, and
sweep it downward with an envelope, instant attack, decay kind of slow.
Typical cliche patch. Now patch a 320 Saw output to another FM input, set
the 320 Shape full left, and play with the speed of the sweep and envelope
decay, and the 2 FM amounts, until you get a downward "stepping" instead of
sweeping.

Sort of like the 2 LFO into VCO trick to generate Sheppard tone sequences.
