+gotchas:
+  - "Two separate filter/amp sections — make sure you're editing Filter1/Amp1 (the primary signal path) not Filter2/Amp2 unless you want parallel filtering"
+  - "Osc2 Detune is in semitones not cents — small values like 0.05-0.15 give tasteful thickness"
+  - "Filter1 Res at maximum can cause self-oscillation and volume spikes — use with caution"
+  - "LFO routing is fixed per LFO slot — check which destination is selected before adjusting amount"
