Pretty simple, really.  Refer back to equation (1); by altering Z WARP we are changing the 
value of Z in the equation (1).  This, of course, alters Out and munges the wave form.   
 
OK, one last demo before moving on to other aspects.  This one uses the same patch diagram as 
for DEMO #3 except we’ll add another sine wave from a third oscillator to AUDIO Z and tweeze 
the knobs a bit.  I call this piece “Concerto for Farty Armpit Noises” which is probably not PC.  
Oh well.

And finally, here is an extended improvisation using the patch diagrammed in Figure 2.  The 
only alteration was the addition of an LFO feeding the S&H IN of the MOTM-101 to get a more 
regular pattern to play with.  All the timbre variations you hear are accomplished by turning 
knobs and changing the ROOT/UNITY/POWER switch.  This is an amazing amount of 
variation coming out of one module!  No filters were used and no envelopes:
