We consider a rotator whose equation of motion for the angle $\theta$ consists of the zeroth and first Fourier modes. Numerical analysis based on the trailing of saddle-node bifurcations is used to locate the n:1 Arnold tongues where synchronization occurs. Several of them are wide enough for high-order synchronization to be seen in passive observations. By sweeping the system parameters within a certain range, we find that the stronger the dependence of $\dot\theta$ on $\theta$, the wider the regions of synchronization. Use of a synchronization index reveals a vast number of very narrow n:m Arnold tongues. A competition phenomenon among the tongues is observed, in that they "push" and "squeeze" one another: as some tongues widen, others narrow. Two mechanisms for transitions between different n:m synchronization states are considered: slow variation of the driving frequency, and the influence of low-frequency noise on the rotator.
