Check out the stickied Tips and Tricks thread, second to last page.

If you're inclined to make templates, don't forget you can use the Control Surface tab to assign the sliders, knobs and buttons to common parameters and save that with your MOD7 Waveshaper template program. That way you can move multiple knobs and sliders to quickly sculpt new sounds and save them as you go.

Knobs to waveshaper table (waveform), drive, and offset
Knobs to filter A and filter B cutoff (try parallel Linked BPF for formants)
Switches to filter resonance amount
Switches to OSC on/off, LFO on/off and rate
Sliders to VPM OSC levels
Sliders to ADSR for filter/amp EGs

Extra credit
Polyphonic unison on 2 to 3 voices, stereo spread to taste
IFX chain:
Dyna Comp for beef
Stereo Decimator on Vintage 2 preset for crunch
Talking Modulator on Slow Mouth preset for fun
TFX recommendations:
Stereo Tube Emulator on Big Body Electric for warmth
Stereo Master Limiter on Mix Max to stay out of the red

Kronos. FM and Waveshaper boss with physical controllers. Already at a studio near you.

Thanks. Speaking of the Control Surface, I've really just started to explore that too. I see that you can customize it - are those customizations saved per Program? Sorry, I feel swamped with the amount of knowledge necessary to totally grasp the enormity of the functionality of this amazing instrument. That's good though, it's so deep that every day I find new stuff that gets me excited to work with it. Sounds like you are at least a year ahead of me - thanks for the insights.
