Formant Key Follow:
When the Formant key follow is set to a higher positive value and you play a higher key
it will result in a higher formant frequency, if you play a low key the sound will have a lower
formant frequency.
If you want to create classic wavetable synthesis types of sounds, set Formant key follow
to 100 and Formant to 0.

Sync:
Switches the oscillator to another type of playback mode, this sounds more aggressive
and can for example be used to create the classic synced sound.
To create the classic synced sound set Sync to On and the Formant frequency to a
positive value. Use Off or Saw Down as Osc Window function for best results.

Tune:
Sets the harmonic or rhythmic relationship of the oscillator which can range from -3
octaves below, up to +2 Octaves higher.
Other tunings provided, which are not in octave-steps like 8/3 are useful to create
organ sounds or chords.
When Osc BPM Sync is On Tune controls the rhythmic speed of the oscillator.

Oscillator Key:
When Oscillator key follow is set to a higher positive value and you play a higher key
it will result in a higher pitch, if you play a low key the sound will have a lower pitch.
Usually you will use a standard key value of 100 here. If you do granular sounds a value
around 0 is preferred.
