Hahaha....LOL...

This is the best trick i ever heard...
(plus also know it from my own experience...hehehe)

I reckon it too from somewhere!!!
It really helps me to be creative but on the other hand it makes it a lot harder on the technical and writing side.

I run the bugger through an old Mackie desk with 'colourful' pre's. Add's a subtle distortion.sounds shit on most things but adds a new dimension to some of my fave analogy bass and detuned lead patches.When u need a bit of grime. Oh, and drum sounds benefit somewhat from this processing i feel.

A trick I really like to use which offers a lot of interesting and sometimes unexpected results is to modulate with the LFOs the volumes of different oscillators.... using LFO 1 and LFO2 with different rates and waveforms to modulate Oscillators 1 and 2 independently, works great with pad-like sounds with delay and reverb processed at the end...

Or if you SYNC them to clock, you can get great arpegiator like rythmical sounds where each oscillator works a sound, and can create an interesting
and highly tweakable pattern.

I'll second that, i've set up gigs before trying to work out for ages why the rig isn't working only to find a switch or fader not turned up.......classic!

wave 57 i think... i use it to try to simulate audio rate modulation.
