Sync Inputs
uniCYCLE offers two inputs for being synchronized to external sources. One input is for hard-sync
H
o
, the
other for soft-sync
S
a
.
H - SYNC
o
The hard-sync input
H
o
works with signals with positive flanks like square-waves from oscillators,
trigger- and gate-signals. With each incoming flank uniCYCLE’s waveforms will be abruptly reset
and started from zero. As a result the shapes will be cut and deliver more or less hard tones.
Beside classical sync-sounds, the
H
input
o
can be used for restarting the waveforms with gate-
signals.
SYNC - S
a
The soft-sync input
S
a
works with waveforms from oscillators, gate-signals or even d.c. voltages.
If the ratio between the signal applied to the
S
input
a
and uniCYCLE’s frequency is integer,
the oscillator locks in and generates pure waveforms. With ratios not being integer, the resulting
waveforms are being cut, similar to hard-sync. The result of soft-sync also depends on the level of
the incoming signal.
