So they do it the (ouch) hard way.  No wonder they were never entirely
successful.

I suppose the problem with bunching oscillators is that you're assuming that
you want the oscillators bunched at those fixed intervals.  I could see
having them run at ill-tempered (heh) intervals for some nicely clangy
sounds (bells, anyone?).

Perhaps you could have oscillators bunched together, and them manipulate how
the bunches are offset from each other.  The oscillators *within* each bunch
would be tempered to particular intervals.  Or is this what you had in mind
to begin with?  (Sorry for the poor description, I'm writing
free-thought...)
