The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

I think my Ion sounds a bit more RA, but the AN comes in a very close 
second(it can emulate a P5 better than the Ion). The 4 free EGs on 
the AN can be used instead of an LFO to introduce a more 
random "analog drift" effect. I like a very slight random modulation 
of filter freq, as well as osc 
pitch...

series?
> I've tried to emulate this "background sound" by using one of the 
LFO's that isn't being used for modulation duties, to softly vary the 
pitch of the VCO's. Something along the lines of +1 for VCO 1, and -1 
for VCO 2, with the slowest LFO speed. This is on top of any other 
modulation i may have going on...
