MOTM

A couple of suggestions:

1. Use 2 VCOs with hard sync and tune the slave VCO high to get some high
overtones, then control its volume from a mod wheel. Run it through some
distortion and echo, and crank the wheel up to emulate harmonic feedback on
longer notes.

2. Set pitchbend if possible to be a whole step in the up direction, but 2
octaves on the down direction for whammy bar effects.
