Analog Unison Phase?

When uison detune is set to 0.00 the phase result isn't always identical. Is is normal behavior?

I think it imitates behaviour of analog free-running oscillators, so this would be normal.

Remember that you can change the number of voices and the delay between them in the global settings.

operator has osc 'retrigger' option for each osc
so the oscillators can be locked 100% in phase...

It's just so disappointing when you find the perfect phase balance only to have it drift away after playing a few more notes.

I understand the nature of the instrument is to have slightly unpredictable attributes, but to have a simple, single voice pulse layered @ 2 unison, drift from hollow bass to nasal twang is not too fun when trying to design a sound.
