1
A Portamento control on an analog synth
sets the glide time between legato-played notes
allows the synth to be packed into a portable case
adds bandpass filtering to a raw oscillator tone
2
A Wavetable is
a chain of short one-cycle samples that creates a complex sound
a collection of analog oscillator waves layered for a rich sound
a complex wave built up of individually assembled sine wave harmonics
3
In a sampler the Root Key
is the first sample imported into or recorded by the instrument
plays a sample back at its original pitch
is always the lowest note in the instrument
4
In traditional analog synths the most common type of VCF is
a notch filter
a spectral filter
a lowpass filter
5
An analog synthesizer
uses samples recorded on analog tape as its sound sources
uses a chain of one-cycle samples to create its complex sounds
uses oscillators and filters to shape its sounds
6
Additive synthesis
builds up a complex wave from individually assembled sine wave harmonics
creates a complex sound from a chain of short one-cycle samples
layers a collection of bright analog oscillator waves for a rich sound
7
What analog synthesizer brand is famous for its 4-pole lowpass filter?
ARP
Moog
Buchla
8
In FM synthesis a Carrier-Modulator pair
is a pair of (usually) sine wave oscillators that use FM to create rich tones
is a combined lowpass & highpass filter used to create richer tones
takes the place of a filter and amplifier EG
9
The first commercial pre-wired analog synth was
the ARP 2500
the Moog Modular
the Minimoog
10
An Oscillator
generates random noise
generates short one-cycle samples
generates periodic waves
11
Subtractive synthesis
build up a complex wave from scratch by adding individual sine waves together
filters & processes harmonically-rich raw waveforms
uses a chain of one-cycle samples to create its complex sounds
12
Patch cables
are never used in modern modular synths
are required to connect the various modules in a modular synth
have a universal connector type that's used in all synths
13
A Sampler
is a mixtape with snippets of various songs
uses recordings of notes or sounds as its sound source
uses digital oscillators to create buzzy waveforms
14
The Oberheim SEM module
brought digital technology to the Oberheim product line
was designed to be used in multiples to allow for polyphony
was an effects processor with flanging, chorus & echo effects
15
A Synthesizer
is by definition an analog-only device
creates sounds using either analog or digital means
is a type of analog sampler
16
To create a percussive envelope with an ADSR envelope generator
Decay & Release would be set to their fastest values
Sustain would be set to zero
Attack would be set to its slowest value
17
The ARP 2600
was a fully modular synth that used a pin matrix instead of patch cables
used a patented 4-pole" ladder" filter for a fat sound
combined a pre-wired design with selective patching capabilities
18
In an analog synth Vibrato can be created
by patching an LFO into a VCA
by patching an LFO into a VCF
by patching an LFO into a VCO
19
VCA stands for
Video-Cassette amplifier
Voltage-Controlled Amplifier
Voltage-Controlled Activator
20
An analog synth's oscillator waveshapes typically include
Sine, Sawtooth, Pulse, Square, Triangle
LFO, EG, FM, AM
Lowpass, Highpass, Bandpass, Notch
21
In a modeling instrument Exciters & Disturbers
are used to modulate the modeler's traditional oscillators & filters
can only be used to create strange & unusual sounds
emulate vibrating objects and the physical devices used to trigger notes on them
22
The two main parameters of an LFO are
cutoff & resonance
attack & decay
rate & depth (intensity)
23
In a sampler Velocity Zones
are very fast sequences of notes
utilize multiple samples of the same note at different dynamic levels
utilize multiple samples of the same note on different keys
24
Sequential Circuit's Prophet 5
was one of the first synths to have patch memories
included 5 stackable oscillators for a rich sound
used digital sound sources to create its sounds
25
A sampler Keymap is
the collection of sampled instruments available in the sampler
the range of transposition of a single sample
a collection of samples mapped across the keyboard
