The trick is to detune them at least 1-2 octaves appart, and maybe a 
fifth above that. Also, feed each oscillator into a separate gate, 
then trigger one EG with the pulse out of another one (the one 
opening the LPG with the higher-pitched osc). This causes a slight 
delay between both sounds, making it sound bright and rich.

Hmmmm, I dunno... I did this and found the sine wave making the 
whole sound a bit dull.

Anyway, do you own an oscilloscope, dude? The mod oscillator wave at 
about 25% pulse duty cycle sounds like a perfect sawtooth to my 
ears. This is something that Wendy Carlos mentions in her "Secrets 
of Synthesis" CD, but I'd never noticed it as dramatically as with 
this baby.

I love this thing, guys. It's given me a whole new perspective on my 
Buchla, making me realize that yes, it is worth the $$$$$...
