In fact I'm using 258 Oscillators with NO PROBLEMS whatsoever.
As I've stated before, I can position tunings across my touchplate keyboard
over a wide scale (at least more than 1 octave if need be) and each
oscillator keeps in tune (or as close as any Moog OSC) perfectly well.
I'm wondering if Konkuro is thinking in terms of lab test conditions. From
note to note there are often *minute* differences in pitch between my Buchla
Oscillators. It's hardly perceptible, but gives you that fat analogue
texture that you don't get with virtual analogue or digital instruments.
Just to stress, my melodies don't sound raw or out of control as far as
pitch and tuning are concerned. They sound no different from any other
1970's analogue sound source.

I don't understand that logic.
Konkuro, from your comments about dance music and the Buchla (which you've
never used) I really don't think you know what you're talking about.
