MOTM

Well, I threw together my MOTM-300, and have a very simplistic (and 
kludgy) hard-sync patch running right now.

This is the first time I've had the MOTM making anything by itself 
(aside from a medicore chaos patch between a 320 and a 420 RES 10 as an 
osc)... and now I understand the idea of a modular addiction.

MOTM 420 self-oscillating, run through the MOTM-120 to make the output a 
square wave (and higher-level), using that output as a SYNC source for 
the 300, and using the 320 as an FM source on the 300.  Of course, at a 
low 'rate' on the 320, you get those great hard-sync sweeps, but as you 
increase the 320 to audio frequencies, the sound goes... well, you know.

BUT IT DOESN'T GO HIGH ENOUGH!  Clearly I need an 'actual' (see: 
full-range) oscillator to drive the FM on my 300, or at least some sort 
of DC source (no midi->CV converter yet...) to bring the 320 up an 
octave or two.

God, the sounds coming out of this are amazing.  As the hard-sync 
'sweeps' (using the LFO's sawtooth output) past certain frequencies, 
there's a 'resonance' effect when the frequencies it hits are 
mathematically related to the sync source (octave, 5th, whatever)

Man.

Ok, I'm done ranting now, but clearly i need more oscillators.  Actual 
modulars beat the snot out of VA, and I've been using virtual modulars 
since Generator 1.0.
