i messed around with a moog in 98, when i wanted to make a sound, i would think of what the sound's base foundation is, then how many foundation bases and what types of foundation bases / let foundation represent your waveform.
for filters i would listen to hear is the sound was a shard pitched sound (High pass) or a low soft sound (low pass). if the sound i wanted in my head had some what strong poping thats normal or fuzzy for renonsance and lfo with wave forms for ocillation would take to much time for me to explain, same for evelopes or amp and as a filter.
