You can modulate the filter cutoffs with LFOs / envelopes etc., using the patchcords of course. You might want to use tempo synced LFOs (although it's a cliche...) and patch one of the MIDI controller knobs to the LFO rate so you can change the speed in realtime. Then you could record that tweaking...
