the pll is a great blend of crude digital chip and analog
oscillator. the resulting sound is an analog waveform determined by
a digital brain that can't make up it's mind about where it wants to
settle down.
it is novel, but i think it's something you reach for when you want
an unstable texture. some of the timbres will have a
nasal "hardsync" type of vibe to them, a good lead sound, but may
not track a tempered scale.
i think anyone can find a way to use it, though, even in
conventional music. depending on how much you are willing to mess
with the normal schematic of it, there is an enormous variety to the
results.
