Combining synchronization and frequency modulaton
allows for the creation of whole new sound spectra.
Its sound is more predictable than FM alone, as there
is no chance of the fundamental of the modulating
oscillators drifting away when increasing or decreasing
the modulation index. As a result, the output sounds
are less likely to become inharmonic. Conversely, the
synchronization itself distorts the waveform of the
slave VCO, thus adding harmonics to the sound.
The Z3000mkII offers traditional hard sync along a new
type of sync called Hard Sync Modulation (HSM). While
traditional hard sync will only work with pulse or
sawtooth waves, with similar effect, the HSM accepts
any waveform, even complete sounds, which will
modulate, distort and rectify the waveform. Hard Sync
Modulation is a powerful waveform distortion effect
built into the Z3000mkII, and can be used in any
patch.
