Placed within the feedback path of something else you have some
really good potential to do something unusual.

The two main audio processing "modules" are the resonant eq and the
dual phaser. The resonant EQ is unique feature-wise.

Two good modular phasers each with an additional different tap is
certainly better than one. If it's your only m-odule you'd probably
want an LFO source, even better, something to invert it to modulate
the phasers if you want the phasing to move. Of course you don't have
to modulate the phase. You can get some experimental sounds from just
placing a phaser (or 2) in the feedback path.

The x-fader will also function as a VCA so you have a valuable tool
for creating a feedback loop and mix 2 sources even if it's not used
for cross fading.
It's voltage controlled inputs would need something external to
control them like an LFO, envelope, etc.

The audio mixer is a useful tool though it has no voltage control.
You have two channels and one phase inverts, so that's a useful
feedback tool as well as mixing the various outputs before they go
back into something again.
