That's true, which is why I think most people don't realize just how boring 
and basic sounding any static waveform sounds, no matter what it looks like.  
The Access Virus has a bunch of other waveforms besides the standard ones, 
which really don't give you any tones that you can't synthesize using 
standard oscillators and filters.  Morphing between waves gives you something 
more, but you can morph/crossfade between two different synth sounds on any 
modular anyway.
