could someone please explain what this is doing to the sound/wave when you change this paramater?

chages the symmetry of the waveform. basically, if you use predator, route lfo 1 to this osc sym 1 and modulate, you get the maddest, sickest sounds ever

Yea it changes the shape of the lfo to make the peaks longer or shorter in time.

i think not sure, some one correct me if im wronge. that is what albino and the other rp synths call phase.

doesnt it change the starting point at which the sine wave would start its cycle?

Sorry, I was talking about LFO, not osc.

an lfo is the same, just at very low speeds.

yeah lfo's work the same as osc's the only differents is you don't here them, because they are modulation sources.

Isnt it wherter the + and - side amplitudes are symmetrical or not, rather than phase?

thanks for opening my brain... i got a habit of just modulating filter cutoff or amplitude, but there's a billion other things i could modulate...

:idea: from albino 3 manual:

Symmetry is...
Pulsewidth or Symmetry of the respective
Oscillator waveform, used to thicken a sound or
make it swirl, effect depends on intensity and
modulation speed, typically with LFO.
