i just tryied to check the text and sync an osillator to start over i connectet the gate to the sync Saw oscillator S but i can't make it to retrigger to it's initial value but i can't
doesn't it suppose to restart if i connect the gate to the sync on Saw osillator S ?

The sync in is retriggered by a zero crossing of another wave, normally they would use a saw, dont tell anyone but you can actually use anything. but squares can give a bit of a "nasty" transient.
the sync output on a sync master osc is nothing more than a sawtooth wave.
thats not to confuse "sync" with an LFO, which does use the gate. it makes it start at the same point in the wave cycle when a note is pressed. if you want your oscs to do that you can use an LFO as an audio osc. and it will always start at the same place when a note is pressed. (and you can even adjust where with the phase control)

so if i just connect a slave to the gate it won't retrigger ?
i have to connect it to another master that i can't see his syncing option it seems that i use this oscillator as a gate to sync then

sync m oscs are have an extra out for sync
sync s ones are slaves.

But gate or x-crossing: if you monitor flexor's gate, you'll find gate is near 0 in like the 10th decimal place, so they're practically the same for monophonic operations.

this is very sharp nuetron
