Probably want to keep things within 1/4 of a semitone, though it depends what kind of sound and how many oscillators you are working with. At around half a semitone, things start sounding out of tune. With a bunch of oscillators, it tends to sound like swarm of bees at that point...
That was an awesome animation of beating!

What is the usual range used for that "fat sound?"
