Moogulator put up a post on a some oscillator syncs viewed through an oscilloscope posted on the Synthesizers.com wiki. In the shots the top waveform is the oscillator synced to the bottom waveform. In the image above, you can clearly see how the top waveform starts in sync with the bottom. The other shots on the site give a number of other examples including the "bare claw" : ) Title link takes you there.
Update via the comments:
"The picture you chose is the only one that dosen't show sync at all unless you read the caption. The top wave is a triangle being restarted by the square below it. Notice how it looks like a saw wave? Thats why sync sounds different. Your restarting one wave regardless of where it is in its cycle."
Well there you have it. : )
Want to see something cooler? ;-)
ReplyDeleteTry looking at the output of a ring modulator or an FM'd oscillator on an oscilloscope.
