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.

      UEG---VCO-+--440--+---VCA-->
                |       |
                +--FS<--+---VCA-->

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.
