Thanks for the suggestion. I didn't succeed in trying out the Synthesizer using another DAW ; but, I did exercise the Audio channel with no MIDI Synthesizer using True Piano. No Key Studio Input ... i.e., just using the virtual keyboard in True Piano. I recorded the waveform and heard that the 20 Hz modulation was still present. So it is something, I suspect, that is implicit in my SONAR Platinum setup. I am not terribly knowledgeable about all the ins and outs of Platinum but I must have some parameter screwed up.
I've added the TRUE PIANO Waveforms to the Link cited above. The modulation, as you might see, is one of there being no audio out for 10 milliseconds at the 20 Hz rate. It is doubtful; but, could it have something to do with latency?
