Activate Oscillator Sync by pressing the R
Oscillator 2 is "synched" to Oscillator 1. This means that each time a period in Oscillator 1's waveform
starts, Oscillator 2 is forced to start over with a new period, as well.
Example: a sawtooth wave synched by a sync oscillator. The sawtooth wave is restarted every time the sync os-
cillator begins a new cycle. The resulting signal gets deep resonance in its harmonics.
The effect of this is that if Oscillator 2's pitch is higher than Oscillator 1, its resulting waveform will have
a pitch determined by Oscillator 1, but a timbre depending on the pitch of Oscillator 2. See
a more details.
The easiest way to try this out is probably to activate Sync, and adjust the S
2 while holding down a note. When trying out Sync, make sure you listen to Oscillator 2, since this is
the one affected by the changes!
