Polytone - how nuts can you go?

- today I wanted to take polytone for a spin. I have been diving in to the specs of it and there is one thing that really caught my eye on this one.
There seems to be an FM mode which is connected to the oscillator 1 being the carrier, the oscillator 2 being the modulator.
While by default this would trigger an FM sound. But then there is also the shape of the thing. When looking into what the sine shape does, well... there is where things become interesting.
Since the sine shape changes the octave by 3. Thus you can increase the pitch of an oscillator. Yet you have a second knob (shape) to control another pitch.
So... you can create inharmonics.
Let's put this to the test.
PS, this video may sound awfull, but that is the intend here.
Since I am testing the sonic capabilities on what this thing can do.
The patches for this video:

You really have a good grasp on routing and creative sound design! Been rocking with you for years and I’m still learning tactics from the reason experts!
You are still Dutch? 😂 Well thank God you still are and don't identify as something else.
Good to see you back of late healthy and making Reason videos again, I remember watching a lot of your videos around 14-17 years ago learning a lot of crazy CV stuff from you, you are a Reason OG.
You should save that last patch and call it "Cicada".
Definitely nuts lol. Such a great synth.
Jolly good fun.
yes it is, it can go really wild ;)
did you get complex?
I got a coupon as a gift so I have complex now for a year (since this is a year subscription). So in theory yes I have it, yet I do not really 'own' it yet
this sounds infesting
yah, since I am an FM nerd I like it. You can do similar trick using the wavetable of Thor using the 16:th harmonics wavetable. Since that thing is also about creating weird harmonics once you start twisting the POS knob on the oscillator itself.
