Talk:Oscillator sync
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
What I would like from Wikipedia is the definitive explanation on "hard" and "soft" oscillator sync, as found on some early analog synthesizers. I have found 2 completely different explanations on the internet, both credible... One states that soft sync only resets the second oscillator if it is within a certain margin of its starting point. Another states that soft sync makes a triangle wave change direction, whereas hard sync resets a sawtooth or pulse to its starting point. Can someone please shed light on this?
Added Hard and Soft Sync definitions, including the "Weak Sync" definition orignally incorrectly labeled as "soft sync" that causes confusion.
also, hard sync and soft sync now redirect here, so people who are looking for one (or who have never heard of the second kind and so wouldn't think to generalize their search) will yield this site, which hopefully garners it some attention.
It needs oscilloscope images of both, and it needs to be listed in the category "types of synthesis" if possible. --Toxikator 13:58, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
