question about multiple hard-sync precision in SM

Recently I'm earhing a lot about syncing issues in SM, so here is my question.

Simple SM oscillators (like sine or wavetable primitive) have hard-sync (reset) nodes. I'm not using midi, only button triggers (turning on or manual resync). Now - when doing larger project, with many simple oscillators inside (I don't know - 100 at once?) but in CPU range - what to pay attention to in order to have them correctly synced (to not get out of phase) for playback? Using dethreader primitive? Green/blue translation of the trigger via output nodes? Are these (out-of-)syncing problems related to such simple oscillators anyway or only to modules that involve other kind of interactions?

I imagine convert ur trigger to poly- then it will be sample-accurate

I think it is not a matter of how the trigger is sent, but when is received by separate mono (not poly) units - each unit is manipulated separately (freq/phase/output). Or I didn't understand something in the idea? 😉

with green triggers, like your button, there is trigger order, but if u convert that to mono, it will be sample accurate I think. So just turn one green trigger into many blue-- and should be sample accurate as far as I know

Okay, thanks. I possibly go back to the topic if things get really complicated or out of tune 😉

I think the first boolean splitter is the way to do it. The other may propogate triggers. You know who would be best to ask about this-trog If there is a problem, u could send him a pm 🙂
