[sdiy] Oscillator sync schemes

[Cynthia Webster]

Core Lock is something I am not ready to discuss because it is part of a 
product that we are working on, (it is a new concept and not a one 
patchcord solution)

Time Reversal flips the direction of the waveform and there is nothing 
at all "soft" about doing that, wildly fluctuating voltages here give 
the Zeroscillator a vocal quality as if it is talking.

Triangle Core Dual Sync where it syncs twice as often at both the top 
and the bottom instead of only once per cycles as with most sawtooth cores.

Reset forces the Oscillator to Reset to the same position of the 
waveform on demand.

Variable or Voltage Controlled Reset simply gives you control of where 
along the length of the waveform you would like that reset to happen

Variable sync can be as simple as putting a 1K pot between your signal 
and the hard sync input to vary the amount of tear, and there are other 
methods.
