As far as I know, hard sync usually resets the slave's phase and restarts the wave cycle every time the master crosses the 0. This one instead changes the wave's direction, which is a kind of soft-syncing already. It's not very clear what this soft sync does instead. By the way, the demo is interesting
Understood hard sync, did not understand soft sync. Explanation seemed a bit vague and something about the slave trying to stay "harmonically related". Not really sure what that meant, Does it run/track at 2X the frequency of the master? 3X 4X? adjustable? Anyhow did not follow what it was doing.
You need to keep your explanations much less vague and demonstrate them more concrete by presenting static oscilloscope images. I'm sure it has a memory function where you can scroll in time to show both the master and the slave signal and their relations in both hard and soft sync mode. If not draw both signal versions on a piece of paper. That way you also demonstrate your own understanding of what is going on. Then, and only then, you demonstrate its sounding differences.
It certainly would have helped if at least one of the two waveforms on the left could have been steady, on the oscilloscope. It was a nice try, but I'm still left with no real understanding of what the soft sync is doing.
Appreciate your time Raul, Thank you for these videos!
Thanks I've got a Roland 512 vco and this really helped me understand it .
Good job! Thanks. Good to hear both in the same demonstration.

Sorry, it´s not clear what soft sync really does.
nice visuals, thanks

raul you da man thanks a lot for all you help!!
Really should have env or lfo modded the osc freq so the lesser experienced could understand what sounds are available under modulation.
