Here's a "fun" patch, good as a special effect.  I don't like an envelope
on my specials, as I prefer to do the enveloping from the mixing board, 
but you can change ENV4 to be as you wish.

Now play F below middle C.  I'm working on a light-saber patch to go with
this one (split, anyone?)
	
How it works:  We use OSC1 and LFO1 to generate nice clean noise.  
Then, LFO3 is used to put a ramp-down on the noise via DCA1.  
Meanwhile, LFO2 is running at half LFO3's speed (this is critical, folks!)
and is providing a square wave to shift the cutoff frequency of FILT.
 
This breathing sounds OK, but we add a mechanical buzz via OSC2.
DCA2's manual setting of 26 makes this come out less strongly, and the
LFO3 modulation at -63 makes it ramp completely away much more quickly than
the noise from OSC1.
 
OSC3 isn't used for anything here.  Likewise, only ENV4 is needed in the
envelope generators.
	
	Enjoy.
