With 002, each oscillator has it's own clock, each is very slightly off 
the 32Mhz.
As a result there is an inherent 'warmth' to the sound, no two 
oscillators are perfectly in sync and no two voices are either (there's 
a video somewhere where I talk about it).

However we did add a 'fine tune' page as some users wanted them to be 
perfect.

you can never please everyone :)
