Inspired by the video I posted the other day on VOSIM and shaping sync with audio-rate windowing oscillators I produced this patch... which is nothing like it but uses sync in a similar way regardless.

It's horrible, and you probably won't enjoy listening to it, but to me it's interesting. A sine wave is being multiplied by a phase locked variable sync waveform, and the sine wave can assume and smoothly become any of 16 harmonics thanks to the spectroblend oscillator mode. No matter which harmonic it sounds, 0 degrees phase will always be silence, smoothing out the sync effect.
All the relevant parameters are assigned XY pads and played with, but I also added parameters to change the ratio between the two oscillators, creating rough discordant textures and what can only be described as a downright racket.

Unreal. One of the finest examples of Zebraliciousness ever.

Some fantastic sounds in there Sendy! Any chance you'd be willing to share the patch? I'd love to pick this apart.

Glad some enjoyed it! I really doubted it was worth sharing, because it was such a quick patch to make. There's not a whole lot to it.
The video I mentioned is in a very recent thread in this forum entitled "Sync in Zebra" or something like that.
I'm happy to share the patch but I don't have anywhere to upload it.
BTW in my patches I submitted to the patch lib there's another patch like this which uses a similar technique but for the exact opposite = very very smooth jitter-less sync sounds.

Justin3am has offered to host this patch, so you can download it now here:

Remember to go onto Zebra's performance page and use the X/Y pads. Oscilloscope recommended but optional.
If someone could add it to what I have at the u-he patchlib I'd appreciate it. Also, I'd love to hear what anyone does with it. It's amazing how a fairly simple patch can generate such a huge range of sounds from formant oscillators and raspy tones to almost ambient noise

You aren't kidding! This patch is incredible!When I get a chance I'm gonna run this patch through some analog filters.

Wow! Coolsen. This stuff hits a nerve of mine. In the middle there was such nice rooooaaar and cruuuunch that pressed my autosmile button.
I'm a big fan of your stuff, Sendy!

Thanks all for listening! Have fun with the patch and if you like it, check out my "Oscillator Gymnastics" patches on the u-he patchlib and my massive collection of Zebra oscillator presets!

You're a synth space wanderer for sure Sendy. It would be nice if you could make a career out of it.

Hi Sendy, I finally got around to adding this to the PatchLib. I included it in the Oscillator Gymnastics set and updated the readme.txt with your post comments from here.Sendy wrote:If someone could add it to what I have at the u-he patchlib I'd appreciate it.
If you want anything changed/updated about it please let me know. And thanks again -- your presets are always unique and eye-opening.
