Hmmm, I hear you there... I think the most lovely sounding synth I ever
got a chance to play was a grievously out-of-tune Prophet 5 -- when I
did something to make it go back into tune (maybe I hit the tune
button?) it lost some of the magic... :-)

For some reason I've never been able to duplicate that kind of magic
feeling by using intentional detuning; I'm not sure what's up with
that...
