### The Reset/Trigger input on VCOs

Each VCO has a "Reset" or "Trigger" input depending on its behavior.

If this input is labeled "Reset" resets the oscillato with the same action that happens at note on in the vst.
It resets phases for unison, restarts the note drift, and a few other things. If you set unison to 2 and
choose "Retrigger with Phase = 0" you can see the effect of Reset clearly in in a scope.

For a few oscillators there are modes other than reset. String, Twist and Window/WaveTable in one shot mode toggle
from "Reset" to "Trig" to indicate that the init action restarts playback.

In String it re-fills the burst buffer.

In Twwist it re-triggers the built in LPG.

In Window/WaveTable in one shot mode it starts the one shot again. This mode is only active if you have loaded
a wavetable which acts as a one shot. In this case, the playback on trigger will start from the morph value which
is in effect when the trigger arrives.
