I checked every possible mod destination, the LFOs are not even active. There is NOTHING being modulated. I dont understand why it sounds like that. When I press sync, this whole LFO sound goes away, but then that kills the beating, doesnt it. WEIRD.
I think I found the problem. Did you turn the level of the oscillators all the way down in the mixer, so you only hear the ring modulated signal?

If the level of the oscillators is up, and they are detuned, then you will always hear beating; not because of the ring mod, but because of the oscillators themselves. And of course, when you sync the oscillators, you will force them to have the same frequency and thus the beating will disappear. But if you turn the oscillators all the way down and only leave the ring mod signal, you should not hear any beating (e.g., perceptible changes in volume).
