StarStarStarStar

Filter Cutoff Frequency

StarStarStarStar

Adjusts the frequency at which the filter starts to attenuate frequencies above (low-pass) or below (high-pass) it.

StarStarStarStar

Amplitude Modulation

StarStarStarStar

Varies the volume with another oscillator to create tremolo effects or more complex timbres.

StarStarStarStar

Velocity Sensitivity

StarStarStarStar

Allows the strength with which a key is pressed to influence the sound's volume or other parameters.

StarStarStarStar

Arpeggiator

StarStarStarStar

Automatically steps through a sequence of notes, usually derived from a chord, to create rhythmic patterns.

StarStarStarStar

Attack Time

StarStarStarStar

The time taken for the initial increase from zero amplitude to peak amplitude after a note is played.

StarStarStarStar

Sustain Level

StarStarStarStar

The amplitude level during the main sequence of the sound, after decay and until release is triggered.

StarStarStarStar

Pulse Width (PWM)

StarStarStarStar

Adjusts the duty cycle of a square wave, affecting the harmonic content and timbre of the sound.

StarStarStarStar

LFO Rate

StarStarStarStar

Controls the speed at which the Low Frequency Oscillator modulates another parameter, like pitch or filter cutoff.

StarStarStarStar

Envelope Generator

StarStarStarStar

Shapes the amplitude or other parameters over time with stages like Attack, Decay, Sustain, and Release.

StarStarStarStar

LFO Depth

StarStarStarStar

Determines the amount of modulation applied to a parameter by the Low Frequency Oscillator.

StarStarStarStar

Noise Generator

StarStarStarStar

Produces white, pink, or other types of noise for percussive sounds or to add texture.

StarStarStarStar

Oscillator Detune

StarStarStarStar

Slightly shifts the pitch of an oscillator relative to others to create a thicker, chorused sound.

StarStarStarStar

Ring Modulation

StarStarStarStar

Mixes two oscillators in a way that creates new, often inharmonic, frequencies.

StarStarStarStar

Oscillator Waveform

StarStarStarStar

Determines the timbre by shaping the sound wave; options include sine, square, sawtooth, and triangle waves.

StarStarStarStar

Decay Time

StarStarStarStar

The time taken for the sound to fall from the attack peak to the sustain level.

StarStarStarStar

Portamento/Glide

StarStarStarStar

The time it takes for a pitch to glide from one note to the next, creating a smooth transition effect.

StarStarStarStar

Resonance

StarStarStarStar

Emphasizes frequencies around the cutoff point, which can add a 'ringing' or 'whistling' sound.

StarStarStarStar

Frequency Modulation

StarStarStarStar

Uses the frequency of one oscillator to modulate another, creating complex harmonic content.

StarStarStarStar

Release Time

StarStarStarStar

The time taken for the sound to decay to zero after the key is released.

StarStarStarStar

Polyphony

StarStarStarStar

Determines the number of notes that can be played simultaneously on a synthesizer.
