  • Chorus

    – “Chorus” is One of the Most Complicated Modulation Effects – Imagine a Choir where everyone Sings the same Melody but with a slightly different Pitch and at a slightly different Timing – Like the Flanger, it Creates Duplicates of the Original Audio but it is Designed to Sound more Natural than a Flanger –…

  • Comb Filter

    – Basically a Cancellation and Re-Enforcement in Time of Certain Harmonics, Appearing when Equal Frequencies Overlap Each Other at Different Positions (Phases) in Movement  – you can Force the Comb Effect with 2 Equal Generators (e.g. White Noise or SAW Wave), where you Move One Signal in Time (Milliseconds) by Offsetting via a Delay or…

  • Flanger

    – “Flanger” Creates a Duplicate of the Audio, then Modifies & Delays it a Little and Mixes it Back with the Original Audio – the “Feedback” Generates the Typical “Sweeping” Effect – Provides a Very Deep Widening Effect because Flangers “Add” something to the Sound (that can Not be Produced by Tremolo or Autopan which…

  • FM Synthesis

    General – Very Different from Subtractive Synthesis as with FM Synthesis we actually Growing a Sound by Creating Partials / Overtones from the Ground Up (Instead Subtracting) – FM Synthesis has Operators that are Pre-Stacked in different Ways – the Principle is any of the Pre-Stacked Forms is based on a specific Carrier as the…

  • Frequency Shifter

    – A “Frequency Shifter”Shifts All Frequencies Additively by a Given Frequency Amount (Up or Down)  – the Spectral Content of the Source will Become Increasingly Distorted the More you Shift and Tends to Create “In-Harmonicity” (thus Altering the Frequency Relationship) – e.g. a Source File has a 100Hz Tone and a 200Hz Tone, Frequency Shifting…

  • Key Follow (Synthesizer)

    General Key Follow Example 1) Create a Patch with No Modulation at all 2) Set “Key Follow” for the Filter Cutoff to 100% 3) Then Adjust Cutoff to Taste for a Particular Note (can be Done by Ear or using an FFT if Exact Harmonics need to Present) 4) Now Playing across Keyboard Register, all…

  • LFO

    – Low Frequency Oscillator – it is an Electronic Component that Creates Vibrato – like an Envelope it is a Modulator (Not a Sound Generator) and Designed to Control another Parameter within a Synthesizer – it is Cycled in Nature (Going Up & Down) – the LFO is Similar to the Oscillator as it has…
