You're right - as others have pointed out, syncing of oscillators 
provides quite a different range of sounds.

But with most dual oscillator synthesizers you can set both oscillators to have same settings, so I would like my synthesizer to behave "correctly" in those circumstances. There are reasons you'd want to do this, for example if you wanted to apply further processing to only one of the oscillators later.

I can definitely see the rationale behind wanting to do this, but two 
identical oscillators being processed differently doesn't do anything a 
mixing matrix can't handle - simply split the signal and send it 
different places.
