Sorry, but I disagree. All these examples are done with a (intended) 
usage of "oscillator" that corresponds to very imprecise oscillators. 
These imprecise oscillators are extremely(!) important for the character 
of these recordings.

The filter is a lot, but a filter which is sheer beauty with osc A can 
sound boring flat with osc B (e.g. 3379 in Oberheims and Ensoniqs)
