these are OK for LFOs, but not for a 'real' oscillator,
because the range does not go far enough. (you can do things
with external current sources rather than the usual

Much better to use the oscillator from eg TomG's page.

I originally used a 3080 in a product, but soon switched to a classic 
triangle oscillator with a 3080 controlling the frequency.

BTW one thing these chips ARE good for is as the VCO in a phase locked
loop at audio frequencies, this enables you to get a sine or triangle or
square from really shitty waveforms.
BTW, they are very current hungry too.
