MOTM

Bell/metallic patches are really fun to do on the MOTM.  There are 
many ways to get something interesting but here is a suggestion for a 
starting point:

  * Fire up a 300, use the SINE out. Put another audio SINE into FM1, 
EXP mode. I use the 420 with RES cranked up all the way for this but 
you could use any other oscillator.
  * Run the output of the 300 to a 440 (or other filter). Chop off 
highs to taste.  I use an 800 to shape the filter response: very fast 
attack, slower decay.
  * Run the output of the filter into a VCA, again shaped by an 800 
with fast attack and slow decay.

Now you can:

  * Play with the frequency of the modulating oscillator for fun and 
profit. Add an envelope to shape the response.
  * Play with the filter settings.
  * Play with the 800 settings.
  * Modulate another 300 with the output of the 1st 300 (!)
  * etc.
