wow, I guess there finally IS at least one other person 
besides me who feels this way :) (hug) ((what??))

anyway, here's a trick I thought up that improves it for me:

what you do is use a 2nd LFO to modulate the speed of the first one---
if you use a really small depth, then you can make the LFO freq oscillate
b/t 0 and 1 and that makes it very slow, and also unsyncs it!
I love unsynced LFO's :)

Actually if you listen really closely, it's not really unsynced, but
syncing to a complex waveform that you don't pick up on as easily...

If you REALLY want a loose LFO sound, you have to do one of two things:
1) use a 3rd LFO to modulate the 2nd one that modulates the main one.  
2) Or you can use a 3rd LFO and add its output and the 2nd LFO to
the first LFO's frequency.

also, if you make some meta-modulators TRIGgered and some FREE you
can get less predictable modulation, especially when you break
up your patterns in the seq. editor...
