Searching for interesting timbres today, I came up with a simple patch using four modules:  Cynthia Webster’s ZerOscillator, the dual MOTM-480 Resonant Filters, one sinewave LFO from a MOTM-380, and an off-center ramp wave from a MOTM-320R LFO.  The audio path:  ZO Triangle output to 480 #1 input, 480 #1 Bandpass output to 480 #2 input, and then 480 #3 Bandpass and Lowpass outputs to the mixer.  The MOTM-380 LFO Sine A is set to max rate and patched into the ZO Linear FM input.  The MOTM-320R Saw+ output goes to the FM inputs of both 480’s.  The LFO rates remained constant during the recording.  I performed an improvisation on the ZO Linear FM input level, plus the Frequency, Resonance (Q), and FM inputs of both 480 filters.  No digital post-processing effects were used.  It is the sort of patch that lends itself to a live performance.
