Minimoog Subtractive Synthesizer

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)
