Yes, I though about the random LFO function when thinking about your 
question too. I don't think you would need a boundary parameter 
though, since you would just use lfo "amount" to determin how far 
the sweep would go around the center wave set in the osc. Also the 
directions would be set (in regard to lfos) but the lfo shape sort 
of.

Damned right aren't we horrible wishlist people!!! :)

Next we'll be wanting keys and extra knobs added on!

I would be all over this synth even if it didn't have waves! I love 
my Pulse and just with analog oscs only, this seems better already. 
Nice and puny for live gigs . . . . connected to my uQk and perhaps 
the MC505 or E-mu XL7: FINALLY a keyboard rig that makes sense in 
NYC taxicabs!! hell I could even take the subway!
