The samples on the site do a good job of demonstrating the basic character 
of the noise ring.  And it definitely has an edge to it.  I am inclined to 
agree with the previous poster who suggested the use of filtration to calm 
it down a bit.

But, quite besides it use as a source of musically interesting random cvs 
and, indeed, noise, it's also one of my favourite oscillators.  It has this 
amazing hybrid tone that is different to any other oscillator I have ever 
heard: it sound digital, but it has the presence of analogue.  And because 
it isn't (really) intended to track, it breaks up in the most delightful and 
unexpected ways.

One more thing.  If you do decide to get one, you may find yourself more 
than occasionally entranced by the river of colours flowing down its face 
plate.  It offers, IMO anyway, the best light show of any module on the 
market today :)
