A really cool trick I've used on a bass sound recently was to set the matrix to increase the [Triangle Mode] FM Amount, Distortion Amount, and Filter Cutoff (very slightly) by turning up the Mod wheel.
This means you can use the mod wheel to create expressive "scream" parts during the bassline, where the bass sound opens up and literally sounds like it's screaming. In a sort of bass-y fashion.
I find this technique particularly handy when I'm writing songs and some of the notes seem to sit behind the mix a little more than others. That could just be the shitty acoustics in my room I suppose, but I notice a similar problem on headphones and this routing helps to fix it...
