"OSC-l" includes a "WAVE ENV FM" function for applying
strong modulation with the signal output from the source 2 VCF. If
this function is used with skill, it is possible to create special effects like
the sound of a bell or metallic sounds.
Try changing the value and playing. Set the source 2 LEVEL to "00"
and control the OSC-2 "FREQ", and "FINE" parameters. To begin
with, it is a good idea to set the cut-off frequency for the source 2 VCF
to "100".
One special technique is to set the cut-off frequency for the source 2
VCF between "00" and "20" and add complex modulation using the
VCF-EG or BREATH VCF.

Interesting effects can also be obtained by varying the OSC-2 pitch
with the "OSC-EG DEPTH" or "BREATH VCO". Create original
sounds through a trial and error process. Also set the source 2 level to
between "80" and "100" and mix it with the sound from source 1 to
obtain heavier sounds.
After setting the various parameters, label the voice you have created.
