I got mine too. I thought I'd mention a couple of practical
applications, besides trying the most annoying noise to avoid alimony
;)

Last night, I was using it with the output of a drum machine. Try a
rimshot and hi-hat pattern with small amounts of shift with a bit of
feedback to create motion, or more shift without feedback for a
swooshing sound. Even without a noticeable amount of shifting, and
no feedback, it still creates a nice stereo effect.

With an oscillator as an input, with the amount of shift modulated by
an envelope, it can also be used to create non-harmonic partials for
cymbal sounds.

Instead of using filter resonance, you can get some amazing sounds
with only one oscillator run through a VCF by multing the output of
the VCF through the FS feeding it back into filter. This can be used
to create many useful bell and piano sounds. When driven by a step
sequencer, increasing the filter feedback with just a minute amount
of frequency shift and running the output of the VCF and the other
output of the FS through two VCA's driven by the same envelope you
can create complex stereo patterns.

You can also use the sine and cosine outs to modulate an 820, or the
CV inputs on the filter, or both, at the same time. With the one
cable patch, different knob settings can produce infinite variations.

Don't forget, in addition to being a FS, it's also a quadrature
oscillator -- try driving two VCA's with each panned to a different
channel (or invert them with two more VCA's with four speakers :)


Btw, how do you get each side of the 190 to sound the same?? With a
noise source, there seems to be a noticeable difference in frequency
response.
