Ø Sync

Bitwig Platform

Ø Sync module panel in Bitwig Grid
Ø Sync in Bitwig Grid 6.0.6.

Scales phase and wraps each overflow into another forward cycle, creating hard-sync-style repetitions.

What it does

Ø Sync makes the input phase traverse the output cycle multiple or fractional times according to Amount. Each boundary crossing wraps to zero and continues forward, producing repeated waveform sections when it drives an oscillator or lookup table.

Practical uses

  • Create hard-sync-style oscillator spectra from a simple phase source.
  • Generate multiple forward lookup traversals during one master phase cycle.
  • Modulate Amount for characteristic moving sync harmonics.

Things to know

  • Sync wraps overflow; Ø Mirror reflects it and alternates direction.
  • The source phase still defines the master cycle while Amount controls internal repetitions.
  • Changing Amount continuously can move wrap discontinuities through the cycle.
  • The exact musical-unit mapping of Amount is not established by a confirmed Nitro body.

Technical details

No Nitro implementation has been confirmed for this visible module. The behavior is described conservatively from module metadata and editorial research.

The documented behavior is modeled by out = wrap(gain(amount) * phase). This is the standard forward phase-multiplication and wrap operation behind hard-sync-style phase distortion, but the exact gain(amount) law and any centering or stereo details remain unobserved.

Open questions

  • Measure the neutral setting, Amount-to-gain law, boundary samples, negative Amount behavior, stereo behavior, and response to audio-rate modulation.

Checked against Bitwig Studio 6.0.6. This page combines Bitwig's module metadata, the existing Grid course and guides, and Nitro analysis where the mapping is strong enough to support a technical statement.
