Yeah, mono coherence/correlation is one of the parts of sound design and psychoacoustics that I find extremely fascinating. Back when I was in school I liked to make my drum kits sound miles wide... then one of my profs collapsed a project of mine to mono, held up a thumbs-down and made a farting sound with his mouth. That was embarrassing. I know better than that (mostly), these days, hahaha.
On the topic of the classic oscillators' Shape parameter, I'm curious about something: Since it serves to add harmonics (changing a sine or triangle into a saw and then to a pulse wave as it's increased), would it be correct to say that it can create a similar effect to a lowpass filter? For example, applying a sharp, plucky envelope, inverted, to the shape of a classic oscillator set to sawtooth, should have a similar effect to applying the same sharp envelope to a lowpass filter for a 'pluck' sound?
So the 'Random' modulation source changes on each key press? That's really good to know. Man, there are so many modulation sources on this synth that can be used in really, really awesome ways.
