Can someone give me an example of an application that requires a
perfect sine wave? Will a perfect sine do special things when used as
an FM or AM source? I don't think there are too many people doing
additive synthesis, but I can see how it would benefit from perfect
sines. 

Another question... why is it that people ascribe a certain sound to
modern modulars? Why a certain sound to vintage? I don't understand
why a modern modular can't sound exactly like a Buchla, or a Serge, or
a fluglehorn, or a pile driver. In theory, with the all of the sound
generating and conditioning elements of a modern modular in place, you
should be able to make any sound. Or have we hit the core issue with
this sine wave discussion? I'm really lost on a lot of these
discussions, but it's probably just because I'm new. 

Thanks,
