Wow, what nasty sounds!  Thank you atom smasher!

With the filter in self-oscillation you get real "FM" sounds.  Without
being able to precisely scale the filter keyboard tracking it's not
really playable, but it is great for sfx.

With resonance down there is the potential for more musical, playable
tones I would describe as grungy, especially with filter cutoff down as
well.  With cutoff halfway up I could get some tones reminiscent of a
cello or a human voice.


I recorded sounds and took pictures last night, I'll try to get them up
tonight.


One thing I noticed is that the effects seemed to come and go on every 3rd
or 4th key?  I'm not sure if this is just a product of the frequencies
involved?

Trying to understand the schematics on the web is a pain, so I'm wondering
what's the difference between r74-pin 7 of IC4 that we're using and
r76-pin 7 of IC5 that we're not?


Once again, thanks atom!
