MOTM

Just for interest, below is an mp3 snippet of MOTM Frequency Modulated 
Synthesized HiHat, Cymbal, and Kettle Drum tests I was trying today.  I was 
trying to come with a way to get metalic noise like partials.  What I came up 
with was one oscillator generates a sawtooth output, but it is modulated with 
a sine from a second oscillator which in turn it modulated by white noise.  
Because I have 4 oscillators I was able to patch up two of these and tune 
them to different frequencies.  So the HiHat and Kettle Drum use two 
metal/noise partials.  I cheated on the cymbals and recorded a few of them at 
different frequencies and then mixed them together for a fuller sound.  The 
Kettle Drum only sounds good on one note, and being monophonic forget about a 
drum roll.  If I need another note, I need to resynthesize the patch for 
another pitch, but I did drop one hit down digitally.  Kettle Drum needs to 
be heard loud with good bass.
