this does not explain, what he needs to do, to get a non constant tone,
a "tone" consists of a frequency, and some dynamics such as attack and
release. you add these properties by multiplying the output of the
oscilator, with an adsr envelope.

a d s r
attack, decay, sustain, release
the sustain, is obviously controlled by how long you hold your key down,
so you will need to hook up the midi in to the adsr as well.
please ommers, point him to somewhere, where that is explained, a little
better...
Well, for a start open up the demo patches in om and the smack patches
if you want to do some percussive stuff. Look at the om wiki that
explains stuff quite nicely. http://atte.dk/om-wiki Then read synth
secrets online on the sound on sound website.

Really great stuff there and it will help you to understand the basic
of modular synthesis. That with the example patches should have you
creating nice stuff. Add to the wiki as well so someone can learn from
your mistakes too! ;-)
