[AH] Two oscillators cancelling each other

Hi,

I am trying to play one sequence with two oscillators instead of one, to 
make it sound fatter. I am using Doepfer A-111 oscillators, and they cancel 
each other when set on the same octave, or octave apart. Sound phases and 
disappears at the same time.

I managed to get around this problem by using soft sync (square waveform of 
the master to multiple, than to audio mixer, and soft sync jack of the 
second oscillator), available on A-111's. I get noticably fatter sound. I 
wonder:

Is the soft sync the only way to play two oscillators without waveform 
cancellation?  What if I don't have soft sync on my oscillators (maybe 
heavily detune the second one than)?

Or just buy audio divider (Doepfer A-115) and get cheap solution to problem?

Also, mixing square and saw from the same oscillator is impossible on 
A-111... Something so easy on Sh-101, for example. And A-111 and SH-101 use 
the same oscillator chip!

Regards

Zoran
