    Minimoog Subtractive Synthesizer

    Uploaded by

    The document discusses various aspects of synthesizers including oscillators, waveforms, synchronization, frequency modulation, low frequency oscillators, subtractive synthesis, filters, envelopes, and amplifiers. It notes that oscillators can produce different waveforms and pitches, and that synchronization allows combining oscillators. Filters can cut off frequencies to shape timbre, and envelopes control aspects like attack, decay, sustain, and release of sound over time.

    Good for Brass, percussive bass

    Range (Fundamental Frequency)

    Hollow Sound (only odd harmonics) Fine Tune

    Rich sound in low frequencies


    Saw Tooth

    PItch
    Softer Square signal Oscillators (Voltage Controlled Oscillator)
    Square
    Keyboard Used to deliver different sound signals (different electrical signals give different pitches)
    Waveform
    Low in harmonics: useful for flute sounds, etc Triangle

    Can synchronize different oscillators to create composite sound


    Synchronization

    Increase frequency to create different effects


    Frequency Modulation

    Subtractive Synthesizers (Minimoog V)


    Can be used for special effects because it does not affect pitch Low Frequency Oscillator

    Can affect volume, filters, other oscillators, etc.

    Subtraction: cut off frequencies


    Envelope Generator Attack: How long it takes for the sound to reach maximum volume

    Minimoog: Low-pass filter: removes high frequences (cuts them off) Decay: How long it takes for song to diminish to (Sustain) level
    Filter (Voltage Controlled Filter)
    Sustain: Maximum Volume level that sound will reach (after decay)
    Resonance/Emphasis: amplifies frequency near cut off point

    Release: How long it takes for sound to go away once key is released

    Can be applied to either volume or filters

    Amplifies electrical signal before it is output Amplifier (Voltage Controlled Amplifier)
