There have a number of pretty good additive synthesis and resynthesis  
projects. Several systems, albeit digital, allowed phases to roll  
freely. There have price barriers in commercializing these, though.

There are certainly challenges in implementing an additive system with  
analog electronics, but keeping phase relationships might not be as  
important as you think, though.
