I'm sure most synth heads know this trick. I can't seem to get FX w/o zippering in Scope, at least with the Modulation/Delay/Chorus/Reverb types. I can get some nice movement with CC controlled EQ sweeps, which sound great, but I love Mods, and Delays the most. I've been experimenting with a budget Lexicon MPX-200, attached to analog I/O of Scope, then send to a channel on each of my Sona 32Cs. Using 2 instances of Modular 2, 3OSC Synths, I apply 1 semitone of pitch to the wheel of one 3OSC, and 1 whole step ( +2- )to the other 3OSC. Then attach multiple parameters from the MPX to the Mod Wheel CC#i.e. Chorus rate + Chorus depth. Flicker the pitchwheel a little, I usually start with the wheel cocked down, then play a nice 5 voice chord with one hand, slowly re-align the the 2 3OSCs and then shove up your Mod Wheel. This is basicallyt what Led Zeppelins producer did with John Bonhams Drum tracks, as far as the pitch wheel trick goes. The Mod Wheel trick sounds good on Pad releases. The point being that I can't seem to find a way to do this in Scope without zippering. So I spend another 100 USD to conserve my DSP overhead. Seems worth it to me. If I could find a way to reverse the fast/slow effect of the B2003, and use that.I better get some sleep.

P.S. You can also apply no pitch to 3OSC #1, and 1 semitone to 3OSC #2, I use both types.
