SYNC Block
The AN200 features two oscillator sections: VCO 1 and VCO 2. As on conventional ana-
log synthesizers, the Sync block lets you synchronize the two waveforms to create a
more complex sound, with more harmonics. However, the AN200 takes the sonic possi-
bilities even further. Since the VCO 1 oscillator itself actually contains two separate oscil-
lators, these two "internal" oscillators can be synchronized and then layered with VCO 2
to produce sounds of even greater complexity. (For more about the VCOs and Oscillator
Sync, see the AN200 Owner’s Manual.)

• MODE
Settings: Off, VCO 1 Master > Slave (VCO 1 master into slave),
VCO 2 > 1 (VCO 2 into VCO 1)
This determines the on/off status of Sync, as well as its mode. When this is set to "VCO
1 Master > Slave," the two VCO 1 oscillators are separated inside of the VCO1 and syn-
chronized, with one designated as the controlling "master" and the other the "slave."
When this is set to "VCO 2>1," the VCO 1 is synchronized to VCO 2, with the VCO 2 des-
ignated as the "master."
• The Master oscillator determines the overall pitch of the sound, and the Slave oscillator con-
trols the tone by adding harmonics.
• SRC (Sync Pitch Control Source)
Settings: Fixed, PEG, FEG, LFO1, LFO2
The Sync Pitch Control Source setting determines the source which applies the modula-
tion over time to the slave oscillator. When this is set to "Fixed," there is no change in
modulation over time.
• DEPTH (Sync Pitch Control Depth)
Range: -64 ... +63
This determines the amount of depth of control from the Sync Control Pitch Source
(determined by the Sync Pitch Control Source setting above) over time. Higher values
increase the Depth. When Sync Mode is set to Off, this parameter has no effect.
