I don't have an audio to hand but this machine is dronesville, it will do
everything you want with many subtle or chronic distortion/feedback
possibilties. can be tinny can be gruff can be inexplicable (mind of its
own) This machine is exactly what you describe as wanting! The nord
micromodular would be interesting too - its great at evolving drone things
but it just does not sound "lush" IMO - ever!

get an evolver

Yeh i had a Nord modular. I liked it, but the thing i enojoy about 
hardware is not editing on the pc. The only machine i really miss is 
the polymorph. The best part about it was the sequencer, and from 
what ive been told, the evolver's sequencer is similar.

Yeah, I owned a modular once as well... but the editing was just no 
fun for me.  The Evolver is WAY more fun... and it's also extremely 
addictive if you get into it.  I received my first one one year ago 
while I had just come out of surgery.... I spent many bed ridden 
hours noodling on this synth and it's like a part of me now :).

Check out this bit of noise (watch your speaker volume though, it's 
not leveled well) i created, that nasty freakish noise is the evolver
