Tag: MODULATION (AUDIO)

– MSEG means “Multi-Segment” – Instead having a Fixed Envelope such as AHDSR, you can Draw your Own Points – it is often used as a “2nd Order Modulation”, which means when you have a Modulator Affecting the Parameter of another Modulator that is Affecting a Parameter of a Main Section of a Synth (e.g.…

– a Phaser basically Creates Several Notch Filters  – the LFO Moves “Notch Filters” Across the Spectrum, thus Removing Frequencies from the Audio which Causes the Typical Phase Sound – with High Speeds the Phase may even Change the Pitch Sightly (causing an Effect similar to Vibrato) – Phasers are Naturally Filters and Gain Nothing…

General – while a Square Waveform has Equal Time between Maximum Voltage and Minimum Voltage, a Pulse Width is Essentially a Square Wave with an Adjustable Amount of Time in between Each Cycle before the Voltage Drops from Maximum to Minimum – the Percentage of Time that the Signal is High is Known as a…

General – is a Type of Amplitude Modulation – similar to Tremolo, but the Difference is that the Frequency of Change in Volume is in the Audible Range of Frequencies – the Name Comes from the Actual Circuit that Creates this Effect – Basically it Multiplies 2 Signals together, thus Creating Frequencies that are the…

– Tremolo is an Amplitude Based Modulation – a Tremolo Modulates the Audio Volume via an LFO – using a Different Phase for Both of the Stereo Channels gives you a Widening Effect – with Minimum Width this is Even more Audible because Parts of the Spectrum are “Fluctuating”, thus Complete Silence is Quite Rare…

– a “Vibrato” Produces Slight Variations in Audio Pitch via an LFO – by using Different Phases on Both of the Stereo Channels, it Provides a Very Deep Widening Effect
