• Waveshaper

  by @atmosynth.at

  Bends the shape of the sound, adding harmonics that were not there. Drive decides how hard it is pushed; the curve decides its character.

• Tremolo

  by @atmosynth.at

  Sways the level of whatever passes through it, with its own wave built in. Level is the middle of the sway and Depth how far it moves either side, so a half of…

• Sample oscillator

  by @atmosynth.at

  Plays a sample as its sound source, pitched by the note against the sample’s reference pitch: a note an octave up plays it at twice the rate.

• Reverb

  by @atmosynth.at

  A real room, recorded. An impulse response is a measurement of one actual space — what that space did to a single sharp sound — and convolution replays…

• Pulse oscillator

  by @atmosynth.at

  A square wave whose two halves need not be equal. Width is how much of each cycle is spent high: at a half it is the ordinary square, and away from a half it…

• Phaser

  by @atmosynth.at

  Four allpass filters in a row, all sweeping together, added back to the sound they came from. Where the two disagree they cancel, so notches move up and down…

• Pan

  by @atmosynth.at

  Places a sound between the two speakers: left at minus one, right at plus one, in the middle at nothing. Pan is an input as well as a knob, so an LFO patched…

• Output

  by @atmosynth.at

  The last stage of a patch: what reaches this reaches the listener, at the level its creator chose.

• Triangle oscillator

  by @atmosynth.at

  A triangle wave, pitched by the note played. The simplest sound source there is.

• Square oscillator

  by @atmosynth.at

  A square wave, pitched by the note played. The simplest sound source there is.

• Sine oscillator

  by @atmosynth.at

  A sine wave, pitched by the note played. The simplest sound source there is.

• Sawtooth oscillator

  by @atmosynth.at

  A sawtooth wave, pitched by the note played. The simplest sound source there is.

• Noise

  by @atmosynth.at

  Every frequency at once and none of them held: the source behind wind, waves, breath, and most of a snare or a hi-hat. It is not pitched, so a note does not…

• Mixer

  by @atmosynth.at

  Sums up to four inputs into one, each at its own level. The output level is a modulation input as well as a knob: patch an LFO into Level for a tremolo, where…

• LFO

  by @atmosynth.at

  A slow wave that moves something else rather than being heard itself. Patch its output into another module's modulation input — an oscillator's Detune, say —…

• Vocal

  by @atmosynth.at

  A voice-like tone: a sine and a triangle through a narrow band-pass sitting where a formant would.

• Strings

  by @atmosynth.at

  A bowed section: three sawtooths spread apart, slow to arrive and slow to leave.

• SFX

  by @atmosynth.at

  Not a note at all: a sawtooth swept by a low-frequency oscillator through a resonant filter.

• Plucked

  by @atmosynth.at

  A struck string: an instant attack that falls away to nothing, with no sustain to hold.

• Percussion

  by @atmosynth.at

  A hit rather than a note: a very short burst through a band-pass, with a metallic edge.

• Pad

  by @atmosynth.at

  A slow, wide wash. Two sawtooths pulled apart, a long attack and a long tail.

• Lead

  by @atmosynth.at

  A bright single-line voice that cuts through: one sawtooth, a fast attack and a firm sustain.

• Keys

  by @atmosynth.at

  An electric-piano-like voice: a triangle and a sine, quick to speak and quick to fade.

• Brass

  by @atmosynth.at

  A blown voice that opens as it is held: a sawtooth pair with a resonant filter and a firm body.
