Synchronization, Run/Set - Schippmann CS-8 Series Owner's Manual

Further from the mid position (2) to full CW the state value arises again to
more positive voltages (from -4 V to +4 V), whereas the direction is now
upwards.
Hint: In a strong asymmetrically setting of the slope value (controller 9), close
to full CCW or CW there will be a sound difference with synchronization when
the LFO operates at audio frequencies.

8.5 Synchronization, Run/Set

A positive transition beyond a trigger level of about +3 V at the sync jack (11)
leads to a synchronizing jump to the current state value, whereas the LFO
continues oscillating. The Run/Set jack (15) is internally tied via a switching
contact to +5 V, that the LFO can free oscillate in normal mode. A plugged
cable even open ended or with applied 0 V causes a permanent set of the
triangle to the state value until the applied voltage becomes +5 V (or unplug
the cable) to release the oscillator. Fig. 6a, 6b visualize the effect of Sync and
Run/Set in free running mode.
