I fear this comes too late to prevent hours of exposure to TV. :-o
Anyway...

I'd try to take advantage of the out-of-phase synchronization possibilities
offered by your LFO.

Use the 3 outputs to modulate different parameters of a sound. For example,
use one output for PWM, another for filter modulation, and the third for FM.
That's got to be useful once in a while, no?

Variation of the above, using an analog sequencer: Use one phase as the beat
clock (rectified to a pulse, if needed). Use the other phases to modulate
the sound.

One more idea: Use 3 threshold detectors to create a triplet trigger
generator. Actually, it will create accurate triplets only if everything is
adjusted carefully. What this patch really provides is 3 trigger stream
outputs with partially-adjustable "delay" time between the 3 outputs.
