"CPM DS-2 ANALOG DRONE SYNTH
The FILTER FM patch works by moving Drone 1’s cutoff around at audio rate.
Start by turning down Drone 1 so we can just hear Drone 2.

Pitch Link is switched on, and the pitch is set to the middle. This means any changes to the pitch in Drone 1 will also be matched in Drone 2.

The output is set to a saw wave, and we’ve got the LFO linked to pitch, with the LFO depth turned up just slightly. This means the pitch will drift around a little bit.

Resonance is turned down and the cutoff is all the way open. This means we just get the raw output from Drone 2. Turn its volume all the way up, but plug in a patch cable — we’ll need this later.

Over on Drone 1, the pitch is set to 9 o’clock. We also have a saw wave selected, but the routing switch for the LFO is set to X-Wave. This stops it from affecting the pitch.

We’ve got the cutoff set to 12 o’clock and the resonance at 3, giving us quite a big resonant peak.

Now, when we plug the output of Drone 2 into the cutoff of Drone 1, the filter is going to get moved around at audio rate.

For a more extreme sound, try turning up the pitch LFO on Drone 2.

Also, add a bit of reverb.
