Experiment with P-locks on hold, decay and filters. Also you can use the track
copy/paste function to create vocal harmonies with VO synth and then
transpose track. Very fast and efficient and you can hear the result
immediatley by going up and down with the transpose knob.
Monomachine's VO-machine with little noise and some distortion makes a nice melodica
sound.
Entering the retro territory the VO machine can make some excellent mellotron-like tones,
organ is another good use.

Looking at the MnM manual Elektron explains very little how the DoubleDraw works. It seems
to have same kind of rationalization as with FM-machines; you don't really need to know how
stuff works technically, great sounds can be achieved by trying things out (which is so true
with FM-machines).
