The basic synthesis model includes an oscillator, ________, and amplifier.

Which of the following is NOT a basic waveshape in synthesis

• Triangle

• Ramp

• ADSR

• Sine

LFO stands for

An LFO is an example of a(n)

• modulator

• envelope

• automation

• panning

What does the rate of an LFO in a synthesizer control

• The amplitude of the waveform

• The speed at which the LFO cycles through its waveform

• The pitch of the sound being modulated

• The type of waveform generated by the LFO

In the context of synthesizers, what does the 'D' in ADSR envelope stand for and what is its function?

• Duration - The overall length of time the sound is played

• Drive - The level of amplification applied to the sound signal

• Distortion - The amount of signal alteration to create a 'fuzz' effect in the sound

• Decay - The time it takes for the sound to transition from its initial peak level to the sustain level

In an ADSR envelope, what does the 'Sustain' phase represent?

• The initial intensity and duration of the sound upon being triggered

• The time it takes for the sound to reach its peak level after being triggered

• The rate at which the sound fades to silence after a note is released

• The volume level maintained as long as the note is held after the initial attack and decay phases

What is the main difference between insert effects and send effects?

• Insert effects process all of the signal, while send effects only process a portion of the signal and blend it with the original.

• Insert effects are used for time-based effects like reverb and delay, while send effects are used for dynamic processing like compression and EQ.

• Insert effects can only be applied to one channel at a time, whereas send effects can be applied to multiple channels simultaneously through a send.

• Insert effects are used for mastering, while send effects are used during the mixing process.

This parameter has automation applied to it

How many return tracks are in this set?
