" These were 'RCM' synths [...] AWM waveforms were usable as both carriers
and modulators of the FM signal chain."

That was the feature that had excited me about the SY99, and was the reason
I was negotiating to buy one.  However, I then read an in-depth profile on
the SY99 written by an owner who claimed that using an AWM waveform as an FM
modulator created a lot of "noise," and thus was only good for creating
noisy effects.  Didn't sound very musical.  Does anyone have an audio sample
(.wav, .mp3, etc.) of the SY99 that disproves this user's claim?
