ken,
here, i have to pretty much agree with you. after a certain point, no matter
how cool a waveform looks on a scope, it simply starts to sound "bright" (
high harmonic content ). those really weird waves do come into play more as
c.v. sources for odd modulations. its not the static waveform but how it
evolves that our ear / brain system finds intersting.
best,
