I didn't see any way to set this, thus couldn't be used in the OSC offset parameter.

Thats a factory(ROM) only option unfortunately.
I had manually (hex edited files) enabled them back in pa3x on some RAM samples and when an offset was selected, it resulted in no sound till reboot (drop of dsp communication).
Maybe on newer ones it will work but still there is no possible way for the end user to do that yet.

Thanks for the reply @musiccankill, could you please share how to enable it manually? Which values to be edited to set this?

It is not one value , and i don’t even remember which ones they were. I wouldn’t advice anybody to try such things if they can’t afford a new cpu board or have means to recover from total system corruption (brick).
I had it happen once and it wasn’t easy at all to recover.
