Ken and group,
I am curious if someone would elaborate a bit on this subject. Is it the
case that the DX7 oscillators are "through zero"? Am I correct that this
comment says that the MOTM VCO will not go through zero? I cannot see
much relevance in the phase of the VCO output signal being important
sonically, unless I am really missing something here. FM generates
sidebands that extend equal sides of the carrier so what difference does
the phase make? Is the sonic effect that is desired the actual passing
through zero or is it some other issue?
Thanks in advance for a discussion.
Scott
