A good sine assists in the creation of nice soft waveforms, moves you away from the buzzy, sharp square/saw paradigm, allows you to create classic "glassy" sounds, sounds with resonances, soft tones, sounds not easily copyable. To achieve a cleaner sine out of my oscillators would require me to dedicate a filter to waveshaping. The triangle is also not a buzzy waveform and seriously, I'd be happy with a perfect triangle and wouldn't mind of my sine was imperfect. Analogue Systems VCO triangle gets near perfect. Plan B Model 15 has the perfect waveforms IMO. It just doesn't track as good as I'd like. So the point is, it's absolutely possible for a VCO to meet my perfectionist needs. I'm guessing and hoping that Tip Top Audio VCO has a perfect triangle (no buzz) and I'm also guessing that its sine is not buzzy either, just harmonically rich... but I'd need to hear a frequency sweep to really tell.
