Dude. Settle down! You came back from NAMM all wired!

I have 2 420s and 2 440s. Some of my favorite patches involve making 
a pair of these oscillate, then plugging them in to FM each other. 
You can get some unearthly howls this way. You definitely want a 
second filter, but consider a 440 also. It kicks ass in a different 
way than the 420.

Also, the sine wave that an oscillating filter puts out has a 
different sound quality than the sine on the 300. It's much more 
pure, and therefore also has its uses as an audio source. I can get 
my filters to track musically over 3 or 4 octaves no problem, so they 
can be used for melodic stuff.

My filters poop out at 6-8 Hz, so I can't really use them for slow 
LFOs.

WRT: 300 vs. 320 - the 300 won't give you the VC shape of the 320, so 
you know you'll have to have a 320 at some point. There is a patching 
trick to make the 300 operate much lower in the subaudio range. Just 
feed it some negative CV. I take the PULSE output of the 300 I'm 
using as an LFO, and patch it to the 1V/OCT input. Setting the WIDTH 
control to 0, I can get the 300 to cycle as slow as once every 20 
minutes or so.
