So agree, and that horrid harmonica sound and the beastly organs and numpty
brass sounds... all those sounds are rubbish to my destroyed ears.

Never found any way to reliably make a sound. I really just noodle around.
I try to make a bass sound and come up with a pad that disintegrates into
noise. Try to make a lead sound and come up with a bass that has overtones like
bashing sheet metal.

Its just a matter of taking the time to randomly noodle around to make something
happen. Like bashing buttons in an alien space ship.

Some people are awesome and can do it. They must have had training from a FM 
bushido master.
