I guess you haven't noticed that LFOs are oscillators, too. ;-) The
MOTM-380 quad LFO deserves special mention because it produces
unusual combination waveforms -- thus, to my point, it's not plain vanilla.

I appreciate the different oscillator configurations that Paul
offers, and there's no need for him to develop unique cores for them all.

Oh, so you like both vanilla AND chocolate! Well, there are other
flavors worth tasting. (I can hardly wait to hear my GX-1 filter, in
particular.)

True, though one is reportedly working on it.

Points taken. However, I never claimed MOTM offered everything. :-)
And none of the above are found in the dotcom line, either, unless
you count the Signal Processor as a simple inverter.

Indeed!
