Spectroblend + Phase dist + Wrap = silence?

Beeing a huge fan of wave folders/multipliers in the modular world I was very happy to see the Wrap Osc FX added in the last update.
But when combining some Osc FX togeather just produce silence?

Geomorph and geoblend seems to work in all kinds of strange combos but,Specromorph or Spectroblend seems to be more picky in what FX you can combine.

I guess this is a know issue , although I could not find much when searching for it. Do anyone have a good workaround?

I like to use an oscilloscope and spectrum analyzer when I play with the OscFX to see what's happening to the wave as I make adjustments. I've found that there are a number of configurations that produce silence but once I understood what was happening to the wave (as described in the new Zebra manual) it made sense why I was getting that result.

There is a subtle bug that can result in silence. It's always been there, in some combinations of OscFX with Spectroblend or Spectromorph. It's nothing serious, it's just a drop in 60dB or so. There's an instant and easy cure though:

Turn up "Normalize" a bit :)

@justin, I used a scope as well, but my confusion was mainly in the fact that some combinations with the same apparent waveform (single sine) produced silence in specro mode but worked fine in geo mode.

Normalizing as Urs suggests is a ok workaraound so I'll start normalizing straight away.
