This may be a dumb question but can you sync the oscillators in the mp7?
Thanks

If you're talking something like hard sync (the PWM sounding stuff), then no.  If you're talking about the oscillators having a fixed phase relationship with each other (i.e. they start exactly together and stay locked), then yes, they do that.

I'm guessing you mean hard sync though.  You CAN do some very cool hard sync like effects with the SStart (stands for sample start) patchcord.  Essentially if you trigger that (by sending it a positive value), it will restart the sample.  Combining that with an LFO will give you hard sync to the LFO, which is really a better thing to sync to anyway (unless you wanted ring mod).  Furthermore, you can also tweak SLoop (sample loop point) to do all sorts of crazy stuff too...

Yes hard sync is what I meant sorry. I'll have to try that tonight, can it be done with ring mod?
I'm kinda new to all this patchcord routing, I've got a matrix 1000 and an evolver now so I've been trying to get more complex with my CS programming but still have alot to learn.
I wonder what might happen if I route the sub outs to the evolvers filters and back into the CS (like effect send/return), I don't even know if that would work I haven't tried the subs yet...seems cool in concept tho.
Thanks again
