fiddle works a bit differently, but it will not give enough information to make a clean resynthesis. Remember: An FFT on a blocksize of 1024 will give you 1024/2 = 512 resynthesis channels, or 512 virtual "oscillators". fiddle~ basically only gives one frequency.
Aha, okay. I'm really beginning to understand this more, everything you said made things much more clear to me.
Oh, and just to clarify: I think you mean that [fiddle~] will give you more than one frequency, but all the additional freqs are harmonics of one fundamental frequency - so you can get timbre information about a single note melody, at least I had some success doing this in experiments, and resynthesizing with an additive bank of [osc~]... Not, by any means, a super-accurate resynthesis, but I was using it more to do timbre morphs rather than any accurate representation.
