MOTM

Hi Ken, 
 I really wanted to have some real time control that a pedal would have given 
me, but I was a little short on time to fix something up. I should've planned 
ahead! ; )  I wound up using the S&H out (with Slew) from my MOTM-101 to add 
a some random changes to the Osc sync patch that I had going. It wasn't 
ideal, but it worked out pretty well overall. It turned out to be a nice, 
expressive patch. 

 Thanks for the cable attentuator tip as well. I used my Expressionist to 
play the MOTM, and the LFO intensity on it can be set to a very usuable 
level. I'll keep the cable trick in mind though, it may come in handy with 
other mod routings. 

 Thanks again,
   Andrew
