Zebra2 - Same note different sound / detune -> It's the OSC phase!

Hey,

I have a question about Zebra2 ... it might have been asked and answered already but I was not able to find something about it.

* I'm using the initialize patch
* Playing the same note with the same velocity (a clip that repeats)

Now I can hear (and see) that actually a different sound is generated for each note (to be more precise its a pattern that repeats). It is more audible with dual stack.

So my question is: What is causing this and is this hardcoded or can it be turned off?

See the attached screenshots for comparison:

A quick guess is that the oscillators are in random phase mode so every key strike gives you are different phase position. You can lock its phase by clicking the phase reset button in the oscillator section, the one with the vertical line and the arrow pointing to the left.

Ah yes you are right!

And now that you mention it, I know I've already read about that in the docs and played around with that ... but my brain is like swiss cheese.

Big thanks :)
