2 oscillators mixed with different pitches have a resultant pitch yeh?
this makes a patch, so i try and do the same with an other patch to match that final pitch, but using the same semi-tones and detuning, sounds out of tune..
If you mix two oscillator signals the frequency isnt summed, only the components are summed. You'll have to think the mix result as a sum of the frequency components (in theory every signal can be represented as an infinite sum of sine waves of different frequencies in which one sine wave is one component).

So for example if you have two patches with followin osc settings:

Patch 1: Osc 1 = Saw +0, Osc 2 = Square +12
Patch 2: Osc 1 = PWM -12, Osc 2 = PWM + 7

There shouldn't be any problem in mixing those two patches. To say it in general: As long as the patches are in right tune (i.e. not transposed or heavily detuned), there shouldn't be anykind of problems.

Am I on the right track here?

and you dont have to be so fucking obnoxious.. i was asking a question, not asking for a fight
As I said, just a misunderstanding. I'm not trying to start a fight here. As I wrote on my third posting I got confused and really had difficulties in understanding the whole issue. This means that the second post wasn't actually even pointed to you. People tend to make mistakes. No need to take everything very personally.
