    Abstract: The disclosure is directed to a system and method of generating soft-orthogonal syncmarks for at least a first set of tracks and a second set of tracks. Random pairs of sync patterns are searched to identify one or more pairs where the sync patterns of each pair exhibit delta-like autocorrelation and small cross-correlation with each other and with preamble portions of the tracks. Then a pair of sync patterns is selected from the one or more identified pairs, where the selected pair includes sync patterns that are distinguishable from the user data portions of the tracks at least partially based upon a data characteristic of the user data portions of the tracks. The selected pair of sync patterns is then used to generate a first syncmark for the first set of tracks and a second syncmark for the second set of tracks.
