Well, it does the following things:

1. Source of many static waveforms, both familiar and brand new
2. Has several banks of varying harmonic content, designed to be
swept so as to morph the waveform over time
3. Has a bank to output pulse waveforms at multiples of frequency
from 1 to 16 (think pulse multiplier for rhythmic events)
4. Includes a bank of vowel formant sounds for pseudo vocoding
5. Has a bank designed to be used as transfer functions for wave
mangling (think Serge waveshaper)
6. Has a bank for quantizing control voltages to 16 major and minor
scales
7. Rising sawtooth input plays wave forwards, falling saw plays wave
backwards, other waveforms play them ???
8. If you're ambitious, you can burn your own wave roms

I think it will be a pretty cool tool.
