Tom Oberheim SEM Frequency Modulation Noodles

"Not too many videos feturing this new classic synth, so I thought I whip one up. I normally don't mess around with modular synths and the strange noises they can make, but here's my lame attempt using the new patch panel Synthesizer Expander Module. I guess using the SEM in this fashion, it can be up to a 4 operator FM synth: self-oscillating filter as carrier, 2 traditional oscillators and LFO as modulators. I think the way I have it configured in most instances is OSC 2 modulating the resonant filter, OSC 1 modulating OSC 2 and LFO modulating pulse widths and such. I'm using my Roland Fantom X6 as MIDI cotroller with Kenton Pro 2 as MIDI to CV/Gate converter. I'm also using the Fantom's advanced arpeggiator and its built-in multi effects processors."
