I've found it to be a fantastic source of strangeness if you have a sufficiently fancy function generator. The output waveform isn't constant over pitch, so you get a sort of fixed formant filter effect, and this can be modulated using a sweep generator or VCG input. I look forward to making some weird recordings this weekend. I have two Waveteks that are capable of all sorts of nonsense.

My brain hurts. But then I realize that you can do it and it should be 
an interesting form of "distorsion" and waveshaping.
