Glad you found them useful.

Try this: make two copies of the same Voice; Assign Saw Dwn to LFO1 in the 1st Voice 
and Saw Up to LFO1 in the 2nd Voice; Set LFO1 speed to about 33; In the Ctrl Matrix, 
assign Mod Wheel to VCF cutoff with a neagative amount for the Depth; Set Fmod 
Depth to a value > 20. Now using the mod wheel will give you a fake forward/
backward pair of Voice (especially noticeable on the 'Saw Dwn' version.
