MOTM

One of our list members, Jeremy, recently posted a question about module 
selection and his initial choices:

300 VCO
440 VCF
101 Noise / S+H
190 VCA
390 uLFO
800 EG (I suggest getting two)
910 Mult

I thought it would be fun to make some patches with this exact set of 
modules, as a demonstration.  Here they are:

This uses the 190 Ring Modulator with the 300 VCO sine wave and the 440 
as a sine wave oscillator.  Half way through some pink noise is mixed in.

This one also uses the 440 as an oscillator, but for dynamic linear FM 
modulation of the 300.  One VCA is used for the dynamic FM and the other 
VCA is used for volume.

The third patch uses the 440 as a filter and also uses Pulse Width 
Modulation on the 300.  The output goes in parallel through the two 
VCAs, each controlled by an 800 EG.  This is why you want two EGs.  I 
had no trouble using both EGs and both LFOs in these patches.  It was a 
little harder to find a place for both VCAs.  This recording starts out 
in mono, and at the 20-second mark I kicked in the Lexicon MPX-1 digital 
post processor to add the "Classic Detune" effect.  You can see how it 
creates a lively stereo field but does not alter the essence of the 
sound.  The first two recordings also used the detune processing.

Multiples were used!  I made all of them with the Radio Shack Y adapters.
