It is a common thing for people to create either raygun type of sounds or what the late
Frank Zappa refered to as "duck quack" noises.

For a basic but good understanding of what a basic analog modular synthesizer can do, I
suggest buying the CD reissue of "The Nonesuch Guide To Electronic Music" bcause it
deals with tactics and technique using a basic 1960's Moog system.

Also worth checking out is the most obvioius Wendy Carlos "Switched On Bach" to hear
what one can achieve using multitracks and a mid sized synth.

Although both these recording were produced in the 1960's one is able to see how one
can use basic systems to create music with a fair amount of nuance.

So many artists pulled great sounds from analog synths, Try Stevie Wonder for sweet
modular use or for a nice cross section on a variety of non modular analog synhs of the
afore mentioned typical sounds to some very full leads and basses I suggest Bernie Worrell
of Parliament-Funkadelic.

Bare in mind that the sheer variety of the A-100 is beyond anything made before it. My
suggestions are examples using pretty straight forward stuff.

Hope this helps.
