[sdiy] How Many Oscillators?

[Michael Boracci]

Dear Friends,
    I am planning a modular synthesizer and drawing some functional
diagrams. In the process I am trying to determine how many oscillators would
be practical. I have seen common synthesizers with two and three oscillators
each with a few different choices of waveform.

In terms of practicality versus sound shaping properties is it unrealistic
to design around six or even eight oscillators per voice?

I would appreciate any feedback in terms of existing synthesizers out there
that I might use as a reference.

Thanks,
Michael
