Why you do or don’t need 3 oscillators

video upload by Monotrail Tech Talk

"A three-oscillator setup seems to be the high-end standard in the land of synths. That benchmark has a lot to do with some of the first synths available to a wide public, like the Minimoog model D, EMS VCS 3, and ARP 2600. All 3 oscillator synths. But modern classics like the Pro 3, or even poly synths like the Hydrasynth, or Peak also have a 3-oscillator setup. So… should you have a triple oscillator bank in you modular?"
