MOTM

That patch sounds pretty complex, doesn't it? Nothing could be further
from the truth. You are listening to only 3 modules - 2 MOTM-440s and
1 MOTM-480.

The 480 adds nothing more than a little swept color to the sound. All
the frying sounds, moans, thunder cracks, etc. are generated by the
two 440 filters oscillating, and feeding each other's FM1 input, which
is cranked all the way to -5.

Everything else is just tuning the frequencies until you get an
interesting interaction. Because you are using feedback, you can get
it to teeter in and out of an unstable situation. You can spend hours
conjuring up howls from hell out of this basic simple patch.

Try sticking 3 or more in a feedback loop, using oscillators as well
as filters too. When doing this kind of heavy FM, I like to use sine
waves as starters because if you use saws or something rich the
harmonics can overwhelm you.
