I'd say that you need a deeper sonic palette... Something like: http://www.doepfer.de/A137.htm That's a pretty nice module to get some way serious harmonics happening. The A-115 is nice, it'll help with the sub-bass stuff, but the net result is a square wave which isn't all that exciting harmonically. To get the A-115 running, you split a signal out of your VCO and drive it directly. Or, you can use a SAW or SQUARE output if it's not alrady busy in a patch.
