Software wise:

They can call it what they want, but *this* is additive:

You've got limited control (by design) but damn does it sound good for 
what it does.


The Camel Audio Cameleon 5000 also looks like it could be very 
interesting as does Virsyn Cube.

Hardware wise:
I used to have a K5m. Very interesting module but not enough control 
over individual harmonics.

It would be fun to do some modular additive, but you'd have to have at 
least 16 osc's and 16 multistage EG's to get much of anywhere, right?

Has anybody played with the Analogue Solutions RS370 Polyphonic harmonic 
generator and Expander? With the two combined you've got up to 25 
harmonics, which ain't to shabby..
