I have a question about the MOTM-300 sync feature. (Not that I own one to
play with, just tossing about ideas in the knoggin.) It's a pretty basic
question, really... how is it used?

My current concept of sync'ing oscillators is based on the Nord Modular
oscilators. There are master oscillators with a sync out, and slave
oscilators with a sync in. The slave oscillator's frequency is some
multiple of the master... 2x, 0.5x, 1.005x, etc. The inputs and outputs are
clearly differentiated.

On the MOTM-300, however, the sync is marked "I/O". How does it know which
oscillator is the master and the slave? Do you plug the Sync I/O jacks into
each other, or you you send the oscillator outs to the sync in? And what's
the functional difference between hard and soft syncing? Or do I have
completely the wrong idea of what the sync feature does?

--PBr, blabbering again...
