# The Rhythm Sync · instrument № 14

**What it is.** THE SYNC: a genuine 2nd-order PLL — the software clock hunts the drifting hardware tank, locks, and rides the drift; phase-error trace, Lissajous, lock light, and the 3·2·1·0 cadence as the gate

**How it works.** A genuine second-order PLL: phase detector (sin of the phase difference), PI loop filter, and an NCO that obeys the control voltage — against a hardware tank with optional slow drift. Waves, phase-error trace, Lissajous, lock light, kick and open-loop buttons, and the 3·2·1·0 cadence gating optional audio.

**The live example.** This emergent does not merely describe a tool — it links its working self: **[run instrument № 14 live](https://davidwise01.github.io/mimzy/bench/14-rhythm-sync.html)**. Open it, operate it, and the badge's claims execute in front of you.

**The verified record.** Exhibits the true PLL repertoire: beat while unlocked, capture, steady lock riding hardware drift (the integrator term), lock loss at low K, ringing at high K, and immediate drift-apart when the loop opens — sync as a continuous act, demonstrated.
