The
(Sync)
-button can be used to ”hard sync“ VCO2 to VCO1. This means VCO2 will be
restarted every time VCO1 passes a zero crossing. Depending on the selected frequency,
oscillator 2 will play some waves incomlpete. This will create more complex waveforms.
Changing VCO2’s frequency, e.g. by turning the modulation wheel and using it as a midi
controller, will cause a change in tonal character
instead of a change in pitch. (Further on, we’ll
explain how it’s done)
E.g. you can use the sync feature to create
”cutting“ lead sounds.
When
(Restart)
is pressed, VCO1 will be restarted at a zero crossing every time it’s
triggered.
Due to the fact that the VCO’s are real analogue, they are always oscillating – not only when a
note is played. Therefore, a note-on command will always trigger them at a different wave
position.
(Restart)
overcomes this and will make them start at a zero crossing every time the
sound is triggered. This subtle effect can be used when creating percussive sounds and effects
(e.g. bass drums). It will give these sounds a bit more ”bite“ and it’ll make them a bit more
static. This feature is also interesting in combination with the sync feature
