I want ultra thick, but I think I will take your advice and use Rene
Schmidt's oscillators. Just to review. You are saying that you can add
as many oscillators as you like right? Will the load from the multiple
oscillators need to buffered, or is it OK to run all of them from the
same point in the circuit as you did with yours? 

Scott this is a weird coincidence, but while searching for your site I
ran into this other site. If you look at the bottom of the list of soft
synths at the right you will notice something.

Ouch! I did a few small synths in Synthedit and I do agree that unless
you spend a lot of time on them you get a boring sound. So many of them
are very close that I try to avoid them. When all is said and done the
P8 is ultra thick because of the "Superwave". I need that sound in my
Fatman so I have to give it a shot.

<You wanna talk about *thick*,  back when I was working on this sort of
stuff in the NYC area for a music store there I once had _three_ ARP
2600s all done and on the bench at the same time.  So I patched 'em
together,  and had _nine_ oscillators all talking at the same time.
Never heard anything quite like it. >

Assuming you mean that in a good way. I think we are getting somewhere.
I was considering up to 12 oscillators in my Fatman because I have
twelve concentric pots mounted already and the Supwerwave has 7
oscillators so I have to outdo that.

Thanks for the responses gents. I return to my soldering with a fierce
look in my eye.
