The thing is, keeping all the oscillators in tune is trivial.
I mean, you can go DCO.
The BIG problem, is having 'just enough' difference from
the exact theoretical frequency, to make things interesting.
Consider how the overtones change on a single guitar string
after it is plucked.
The idea that all one needs for additive synthesis is enough
sinewaves, is doomed to sterility.
