First rule of modsynth. If it emanates from the end of a cable, it's a modulation source :)

If I were let loose in such a room, the cloud of smoke I'd generate would, probably, blot the Sun out for several months.

I haven't had a chance to look at these anomalies. I will. But, hang on. The half wave rectification thing. That's not, quite, it. So, let's explain that, and why I'm doing it here. Resonators like short pulses from Decay envelopes to trigger. They like short pulses. The DC output of an LFO set to sawtooth is, very much, like the output of a string of retriggered Decay envelopes. But, at slow rates, that can be, quite a long pulse. And resonators like short pulses, even at faster rates.

Here's a WG, instead of an LFO, because it's a bit clearer on the scopes.

Scope 1. The AC output. Equivalent to the AC output of the Mini LFO.

Scope 2. The AC output, offset with positive DC. Equivalent to the DC output of the Mini LFO.

Scope 3. The AC output with positive half wave rectification. Only the positive half of the cycle gets through. During the negative stage, out comes a value of zero. And I'm trying to run a mod input with an LFO. I can't use the AC output. I don't want to ring mod that noise generator. I want it to shut up. And the sooner, the better. So, I have to use some kind of DC output. If I half wave rectify, I cut the pulse time in half. And resonators like short pulses.

A bit off topic, but whilst we're here. There's a, positive, DC signal running through the pan module here. If it were the equivalent negative voltage, the result would be the negative stage of the cycle. With an inverted polarity. But that can be dealt with. And there's room for two. Here is a picture of some houses. The left hand WG is the roof. The right hand WG is synced, so tune it up. Note CV is not connected. Feel free to plug it in.

Anyway. AM/RM. Yes, yes, yes. And this should be, pretty, easy to set up. When I first started mucking around with these, I had the feedback loop up too high. like the 'Too Much' example here. The scope is the only thing connected. If you play this for long enough, it will spin out of control. Eventually. And, with AM, that can translate as 'REALLY FUCKING LOUD'. Bare that in mind. But, until then, the mean voltage of those resonators is rocking, backwards and forwards, across zero. And, if they're modulating amplitude, the result is a drift between AM and RM. So I reckon that, careful, modulation of the feedback loop 'Depth' should sound really good. I haven't tried it yet :)

Hang on. The ones in 'rectifiers' are DC offsets. Rectification implies that you get rid of one polarity of the waveform, or the other. You need the panning module for that.

Edit. Half wave rectification

OK. You have HWRd  that subsynth, and isolated the positive stage of i it's cycle.

For the negative stage. Invert the subsynth polarity before modulating the pan module. And send a negative DC voltage through the pan module .

Then mix the outputs to get back where you started. Two different, synced oscillators are a bit more fun.

Ah. I'm not trying to FWR anything. I'm isolating + of one wave and - of another to recombine two different wave shapes in one +/-  cycle.

If, during that negative stage, you were to run a positive signal through the pan module, the result would be FWR.

But you'r FWR in 'Rectifiers' is doing that. It would be better if you removed that mod input and dropped the octave of the sine.

Because swap the square with a pulse that can be modulated.. With it's output modulating FM of the sine. And give the sine output a bit of negative bias. You'll be needing it.

But, this doesn't have much to do with resonators and a lot to do with wave folding.

Let's go there :)

That's what the subsynth does.

Have you, ever, found a use for the foldback setting of the distortion insert? 

Wave folding. You'll find plenty of uses for it there.  I'll post something in that topic soon.
