A signal routed to an FM input on a module affects the pitch by modulating it linearly in the

frequency

scale (see figure below). The figure shows an A4 note being pitch modulated by a symmetric bipolar sig-

nal.

As you can see, FM modulation results in equal pitch shifting, in Herz, on either side of the basic pitch,

whereas Pitch shifting results in equal shifting in the note scale.

A waveform of an oscillator with a Sync input can be synchronized with a wave of another oscillator. The

synchronization forces the wave to restart each time the modulating wave raises above 0. This results in

a complex waveform that depends both on its own pitch and on the modulator pitch. When sync is used,

the oscillator pitch is locked to the modulator pitch. If you change the modulator pitch, you will affect

amplitude
