How do you patch frequency modulation (FM) in a modular? What are the differences between exponential, linear, and through-zero FM? How do you deal with pitch shifts when increasing the FM depth? What happens when a VCO frequency-modulates itself, or is patched in a feedback loop? All of that is explained in this movie.
