Hi John,

Yeah I know what sync is, that it eliminates the beating when two
osc's frequenties are locked in together. It's the way of getting
razor sharp sounds in stead of the more organic, floating sounds like
f.e. strings.
But is soft syc then only the soft variant of hard sync? I'm no
technician. I'm interested and very much like to know.

Cause I reckon soft sync must have more uses that only eliminating
the beating. Why otherwise did Serge include soft sync in his osc's
and not the so favourable hard sync? Which are the secrets?

Thanks for the info on the waveforms!

Cheers,

Roel
