Synthesis 1.0 recap

What does an oscillator do?

• Shape the sound

• Generate the sound

• Filter the sound

How can we make interesting sounds using Waveforms?

• Ignoring the oscillator

• Only having one oscillator open

• Stacking them together

• Changing the pitch of an Oscillator

What does a filter do in synthesis?

• Ruin the sound

What is the name of the first frequency in the harmonic series?

• Foundational

• Fundamental

• Primary

What are the overtone frequencies responsible for?

• The timbre (texture) of the sound

• The main pitch of the sound

True or false?

A sine wave is the only waveform to contain the fundamental frequency and no overtones.
