Quick Eurorack Modular Tip : Super Sick Oscillator Sync Wave Synthesis

It's time for another Quick Eurorack Tip ! ⁠

Today our pal Wes is taking a brief look at some Sync Wave Sounds. A unique way to get some excellent timbres out of your oscillators, Sync techniques are super accessible and easy to patch in a modular environment.

Here wes uses two Intelllijel Dixie 2+ oscillators to make some gnarly sounds with a little modulation.

Best description of sync I've seen so far. Nice one!

[gschackman]

Great demo! Crystallizes the joys of modular—endless variation and exploration. Love it.

[jt_via]

Great explanation! I think I finally get the concept of sync. Love playing in a sandbox of sound!

[dasbkilla]

it helped. most chill explanation ever

[gladlawson]

Best demo ever... what a stud full information.

[mountainsingers]

That was super sick! My favorite waves are tasty waves.

I just patched this, but through a hydrasynth using your video. I used the step lfo instead of a sequencer to change the pitch of the oscillator sending sync instead of the host . It made the sound so great on the low end !!! I put poly aftertouch to a 3p lp filter and velocity to the filter envelope sustain. It's soo sick, thanks! Definitely enjoy the sync from a square to a saw. I think I used a sin lfo . I've tried sync with saws and sins but I think square is most dramatic. I used the sub oscillator with a sync-lav wave picked up to create a subtle harmonic to glue it together.

incredible demo love it teach me moreee!!!!THank Youuuu

I love how Wes calls the Delta-V an LFO and Maths an envelope when they are both essentially DUSG clones. Incidentally, it's a great illustration of how the Delta-V saves you so much space compared with Maths. Also, this is a helpful video.

Sync enables exponential fm to remain pitch stable!

I’ll be coming back to this one

Thanks for the vid! your explanation was great. Helped me get some sounds out of my pittsburgh sv-1 i didnt know it was capable of :----)

[stolencoats]

Can you explain the last part where you take the sub from osc1 into the cutoff also? Does the filter have multiple fm inputs?

[wariusgaius]

Pretty sure it’s synced not sunk, anyway love this guy, very charming and good info

[elliotshabram]

That light behind you looks like a cartoon dong.

[GeorgeLocke]

Umm actually it's not "sunch" it's "syncrolated"

[RadicalCaveman]

That was so sick, I already threw up.

Just kidding -- I like your video. You did kinda overuse the word "sick, " though...

[dackattac]

me trying to sound cultured about this: Ah, an incredibly useful and versatile feature in sound design. A unique flavor to dial into all sorts of sonic contexts for a charmingly analogue edge. Surely, no decade nor subgenre of synth music would be the same without oscillator sync.
