I added constant beat detune in Cypher, a synth I did with FXpansion.
I also allowed for BPM sync of the detune, and repeatable phase offset
initialisation with note on, it was loads of fun and creating all
sorts of cool rhythmic effects when put through non-linearities post
oscillators. It only really sounds good on a limited range of notes,
if you go too high or too low from where you set up the sound things
got pretty atonal.
