I'm digging Zebra, and it is inviting to tweak. I searched the web for a definition of hard sync and found that it is the resetting of the phase of the modulating osc along with the carrier.
I read the information page on Zebra where you say:
Each oscillator can HardSync to itself! -
How can that happen, since hard sync by definition involved two oscs?

Hehehe,
this is a little trick:
Each oscillator in Zebra internally consists of 2 oscillators: A very simple "phase accumulator" that oscillates at the fundamental frequency you play, while the real oscillator (the one you hear) can oscillate faster, but still being triggered by the first one.
This is basically a simple trick that offers two advantages:
Sync virtually costs no extra cpu, because I could program this very optimal.
With only 2 Oscillators, you can have 2 independently tuned Hard Sync sounds, a thing that would require 4 oscillators if done the common way.
Cheers,
Urs

All Novation synths have this feature allso
