Hi James

I wouldn't say they are boring, but they are overused. Nothing against 
the possibility of having a second oscillator for sync or X-mod, but the 
usual beating two osc "fat" bass sound isn't fat at all - it is vague 
and imprecise. You can do much assertive (right word?) and precise sound 
with single oscillator sounds.

If you want smooth pad chords, take one oscillator and a chorus. Just as 
example from last friday:

The chords are single oscillator from a JX-3P (DCO!) - inanimate as 
could be, but warm and cozy through a DC-2w.
