Allow me to repsectfully disagree on this. A module such as the
Buchla Multiple Arbitrary Function Generator is one thing and I
agree with you wholeheartedly, it will and should take time and a
learning curve to unlock.

A simple waveshaper however is a totally different story. One
could and would expect instant gratification from such a device.

My point was that I have heard many a waveshapers with the
deeper level of modulation, and that has nothing to do with my
understanding of synthesis and/or any catagory that may place
me in!

My credits will happily be supplied upon request.

best,
