sync question

despite doing it easily on my voyager and pro one etc, i've never managed to figure out the deal with oscillator sync on MOTM. can someone post a simple osc sync sweep patch so i get it? thanks.

Make a standard 2 VCO voice patch - VCOs -> VCF -> VCA, your kbd controls both VCO pitches, and gates two EGs. EG1 patched to VCA control, EG2 patched to VCO2 FM in. Exp or Lin, doesn't really matter although Exp will probably give you a wider sweep. Patch another output of VCO1 to the sync input of VCO2. It's best if you use pulse or saw out of VCO1 for this. Set sync switch on VCO2 to HARD. The tuning of VCO1 will control the perceived pitch of the sound. The tuning of VCO2 will control the sync "growl". VCO2 will be tuned a couple of octaves higher. Grab the COARSE knob for VCO2 and sweep it and you should hear the characteristic hard sync sound. To automate that, turn up the FM input to feed some envelope sweep to the pitch of VCO2. That's all there is to it! Moe

Great description, Moe. The only thing that I would add is that you can use the SYNC of the controlling VCO instead of using the SQR or SAW out if you need these for other reasons. The way to patch it is simply connect a cable from one SYNC to the other SYNC and make sure the controlling VCO's SYNC switch is not on HARD and the other VCO's SYNC switch is on HARD. It's a neat feature of the MOTM VCO that preserves the SQR (or SAW) outs of the controlling VCO if you want to use them in the patch, too (And don't have a MULT).

thanks for the reply. i know how to do a regular sync sweep patch, but i could never get it to work on an MOTM. what always threw me about was that the sync jack on the 300 is both in and out. so which 300 is the master? paul called me last night offering to explain. i got in too late to call him back, but his message implied that there were subtleties to the situation. anyway i have a borrowed MOTM with 1x300 and 1x310 at the moment (where are you, charles?) and i'm going to play with it tonight and hopefully figure it out. if i don't get any joy i'll call paul and get him out of bed :-) thanks, jason

The master is the one resetting the other VCO. If you have two 300's connected SYNC to SYNC, set one to HARD (slave) and the other to SOFT (master). If you have a 300 and a 310, the 310 is obviously the master and you have to split its output to send to both SYNC and a VCF. Moe --- In motm@yahoogroups.com, Jason Proctor <jason@r...> wrote:
