while the same results can be achieved with the Xpander, it's much more cumbersome and not as accessible.

I am too old to be into techno detuned sound (it really sounds "out of
tune" for me), but now and then I have patched up my modulars and
monophonic analogs in a massive collective sound. The idea came from a
reading of what Rick Wright in Pink Floyd did, overdubbing his
minimoog multiple times so he had like 18-20 VCOs sounding. You need
to be careful to really have everything in tune, and play well (or use
sequencers), and you can achive a slightly different sound. It is a
lot of work just to get a slightly different sound, but can be worth
while, as long as you don´t overdo it.I agree: detuning should be used very subtly.
