No need to eat your hat, but once you play a single-VCO synth into
some "ambience" (echo, reverb), the tone beats "against itself" and comes
alive. Works great with a CS-50, for instance.

*But* - this cannot be stressed enough! - I don't rely on the VCO's own
irregularities for this. They may be part of it, but the real fun starts
when
you apply vibrato by aftertouch, and change the vibrato depth all the time
by
changing the pressure you apply with your finger. Then, in the echo process,
the beating changes all the time. It's not regular, and you even have some
"bio feedback" in that you react to the beating that comes from some
100 milliseconds before (ot whatever your delay time is).
