 i recall peter g commenting on how using the triangle as original source of other wave 
forms has a strong influence on the 259's character.  would it even matter in this regard 
that the proposed expander's triangle is actually derived from a sine?  guess what i'm 
really wondering is does it even matter where the triangle comes from?  

also, in general i prefer to have access to an instrument's limits (to the point it begins to 
malfunction).  seems that the 4 octave range would be better suited for enjoying this type 
of behavior/abuse.  as is often the case w modern instruments, i'm afraid much of the 
magic may be lost to over-engineering.
