Yep I did that as an exercise way back. Lost the code and wavs now sorry to say :(
But, yes it did show up the weakness of Pd oscils when compared to Csound - somewhat muddier, with a slight distortion when using so many.
IIRC its a saw/string like wave and I made it bandlimited by filling tables and felt very confident it couldn't be aliasing because I calculated no sweeps put any harmonics even close to Nyquist. So, he difference tis kinda to do with the small table size or interpolation in Pd I think. Of course in Csound it sounds gorgeous.

Reading the whole discussion about "smooth" sounds made me think of this exercise:

Any Pd peeps interested in trying to reproduce the THX sound? I'd really be interested in comparing the result to the original, as well as the pd patch to the supercollider code.
