Algorithm
The Algorithm setting determines how the two VCO1
oscillators (master and slave) are connected in relation
to the FM signal. There are four types of connections,
or “algorithms”, as shown in the diagrams below.
Settings: only FM, Sync+FMbth, Sync+FMmst, Sync+FMslv
When set to "only FM", the master and slave oscillators are disabled and the
VCO1 becomes a single oscillator.
For more information about Sync and FM, see pages 31, 59.

Sync Pitch
The Sync Pitch setting determines the pitch of the slave
oscillator in semitones, available only when the Sync is
on. This lets you create a difference in pitch between
master and slave oscillators and control the resulting
harmonic interval.
When the knob is in the center position, the pitch is the
same as the master oscillator. Turning the knob to the
right increases the interval, and turning it to the left
results in a softer sound.
Settings: -64 ~ 0 ~ + 63
To achieve a discernible result, make sure the VCO1 Level (page 66) is turned up
high enough.
The Sync Pitch function is effective only when the Algorithm type is set to one
besides "only FM".
Sync Pitch Depth
The Sync Pitch Depth setting determines the amount of
depth of control from the Sync Pitch Source (determined
by the Sync Pitch Source setting, below) over time.
Turning the knob to the right increases the Depth.
Settings: -64 ~ 0 ~ + 63
