detuned oscillators + overload

Hi all guys!

Well, Lp is my first analogic synthesizer so i probably miss many things… :mrgreen:
My question is about using a little bit detuned oscillators with some overload(witout sync), i get a very strange and quite harsh oscillation in the sound, especially with high pitch notes. Here is a little audio sample i ve done with cubase after more then 1 hour of warm up: http://www.sendspace.com/file/z6ivi6

Is this a normal thing or probably i am missing something? Is not possible to combine detuning with overloading? a re-calibration of lp will help for the stability between oscillators?

thanks in advance for any help! :smiley:

yes it is normal.
it is an interference between two sounds of slightly different frequencies (osc1 and osc2 in your case)

Remember you can adjust the frequency of OSC 2 if you don’t like the rate of beating, but only after it’s warmed up properly otherwise you’ll have to re-adjust again.

oh ok, so i ve to adjust frequency as i supposed. Thank you guys! :smiley:

yes , you could do that. or you could try to find detuned sound you like, and than enjoy it. what ever suits you :wink:
