This is an uncompromisingly ambitious (and thus unfortunately expensive) building block that demonstrates a robust solution to the following problems:

arrow How to derive all classic waveforms simultaneously from a single oscillator (without resorting to trivial waveshaping methods with produce aliasing).
arrow How to generate clean oscillator hardsync sweeps without aliasing.
arrow How to create a true multi-oscillator unisono of a given complex waveform (without resorting to cheating via "chorusing" tricks).

This building block generates the classic waveforms (saw, tri, pulse with PWM) simultaneously, with low end boost for a fatter sound, anti-aliased hardsync sweep functionality (finally!), and true unison quadrupling of the resulting waveform with detune control.

It works by generating the desired waveform at a very low fixed frequency and then bandlimiting and resampling it at the desired pitch to avoid foldbacks. The resampling is performed by 'abusing' a delay-line, whose infamous and documented "readout bug" will unfortunately introduce subtle harmonic distortion into the sound. But by keeping oscillator levels high, it's quite OK. Way better than that horribly inharmonically aliasing standard G2 osc sync .

As mentioned, the circuit is hideously expensive (half a DSP). So, if nothing else, at least it's a proof of concept that these things are possible on the G2.

But if you're looking for clean sync sweeps and powerful unison for your no-compromise monosynth lead patch -here you go.

awesome.

best sounding g2 sync ever.

Oops, I just discovered a minor bug in the sync engine (something had accidentally been switched off). Fixed version uploaded.
