Fat PWM is the key: Fairly fast LFO applied halfway up onto PWM and just
slightly onto pitch. Beef that up with a sub osc at 1 octave down and
Chorus or Ensemble FX. Voilá!

For fat leads: Lock two voices at a fifth or an octave range using chord
mode. Detuning voices internally for fatter leads is also an option,
either by using the pots (overall detuing) or changing the resitors in the
Unison-section to pots for manual detune during unisonmode..

See P6-digest page for more details....
