Many synths update their oscillators at a "control rate" of around 1kHz.
e.g. Roland Juno 106. You can see sidebands from 1kHz pitch update rate if
you deeply modulate the oscillator's pitch with a fast enough LFO and look
at the spectrum. I think you'd be hard pushed to hear the sidebands for
low-pitched notes using typically rich oscillator waveforms where the dense
harmonics of the waveform would perceptually mask any low-level inharmonic
sidebands.
