Oscillator sync

Encyclopedia : O : OS : OSC : Oscillator sync

Oscillator sync is a feature in synthesizers. One oscillator will restart the period of another oscillator, so that they will have the same base frequency. The timbre can be altered on the synced oscillator, by varying its frequency input.

A synced oscillator that resets the other oscillator(s) is called the master, and any synced oscillator that is reset by an other oscillator is called a slave.
