The best oscillator sounds I've gotten out of PD have been from 
[plugin~] and the BLOP LADSPA plugins. They are bandwidth-limited so you 
don't get any aliasing, which is the weakness of most any other way of 
doing it in PD, and the aliasing is probably what makes it the most 
"digital sounding". Linux only for now, I afraid. At least until 
[plugin~] gets ported to OSX correctly at least, but they sound pretty 
"Reaktor-like"(tm). I use the [vcf~] filters, and they are passable but 
not great. You could also look into the [blosc] external, but I've never 
used it.

best,
d
