I agree with Tom, try feeding in a couple of sine waves and then
listen for differences. Other waves (saw, etc.) probably give too much
harmonic content at the output (who would have thought that could be a
bad thing). Still, my bet would be that they are going to all sound
very similar. Where you might see some differences would be with LFO
signals and control voltages. Are the circuits DC capable?
