But I believe the pulses coming out of the 120 would not be detuned 
with each other; they'd be locked to the 310 driving the 120. So 
that's not quite the same thing as having them all drifting freely.

On the other hand, that's a good place to start looking for a super 
saw substitute. I've made patches using the 120 that have all manner 
of weird beating going on that I can't explain.
