The 

Follow/Sync

 button engages either of two alternate behaviors for Side B: 

Follow

 (button lit) allows Side B to be sequenced in Pitch using Side A. Specifically, it turns Side B’s Pitch 

knob and 1v/oct input into an offset (with zero at ~12:00) that is added to the Pitch as set by the Pitch 
controls of Side A. This allows for simultaneous control of the pitch of both sides using just Side A, while 
maintaining a tuning interval of your choice (the Tuning Beacon can be used to quickly select a consonant 
interval).  Whether  monitoring  the  Sides  individually,  using  FM,  or  spectrally  amplitude  modulating  one 
side with the other, keeping the Sides in tune with each other has many uses. Note: for tuned ratios using 
Follow, it will be best to turn on the Follow mode first, prior to tuning. 

Sync

 (button flashing) maintains the Follow function, and additionally causes Side B to hard sync to Side A, 

in other words for the waveform at the output to “reset” every time Side B’s core resets, so that the two 
sides have the same base frequency. The Odd harmonics and Even harmonics sync separately (Side B Odd 
syncs  to  Side  A  Odd,  Side  B  Even  syncs  to  Side  A  Even).  Sync  introduces  strong  (potentially 
abrasive/“noisy”)  harmonics  to  Side  B.  Slow  modulations  of  Side  B’s  Pitch  while  it  is  Synced  will  create 
strong harmonic sweeps.
