Well, let's not get *too* carried away here, shall we? :(

The truth is, that most other waveshapes offer little sonically when used in
a
traditional subtractive synth (ie VCO followed by VCF). The reason is that
the "boring" standard wavefors offer 95% of the combinations of harmonic
content. Without re-inventing a sampler/ROMpler, you can get some
interesting
timbres by modulating ("morphing") between waveforms.

But mainly, stuff like the PPG and such with expensive hardware never really
add all that much.
For one thing, having like 64 points per waveform, then being able to set
the voltage for each
point and saving that will cause you to try 958,485 different settings with
the result being 99%
of a "mushy buzzy" sound.

I have seen the schematic of the W***d design, and without being
...errrr.....{nasty} my overall
feeling was not positive.

Sure, I can design one. Maybe in about 2 years there will be one. But there
are 13 designs
in R&D right now that I think are more immediately useful.
