1
An Oscillator
generates random noise
generates periodic waves
generates short one-cycle samples
2
Time-shifting in a sampler instrument
automatically transposes the instrument to match the key of the current song
allows for greater flexibilty when working with sampled loops
automatically corrects the pitches in vocal samples
3
In a synthesizer a Sample & Hold module
adds more realistic digital samples to an analog synth
turns a continuous control voltage into a stepped control voltage
stores the settings for various patches in a modular synth
4
VCA stands for
Video-Cassette amplifier
Voltage-Controlled Amplifier
Voltage-Controlled Activator
5
A sampler Keymap is
the range of transposition of a single sample
a collection of samples mapped across the keyboard
the collection of sampled instruments available in the sampler
6
VCF stands for...
Voltage Connected Filter
Variable Controlled Filter
Voltage Carrier Frequency
Voltage Controlled Filter
7
In a sampler Transposition
automatically matches each sampled instrument to the key of a particular song
morphs between two different instruments loaded simultaneously
is automatically done to all samples within a user-specified range
8
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
9
Sequential Circuit's Prophet 5
included 5 stackable oscillators for a rich sound
used digital sound sources to create its sounds
was one of the first synths to have patch memories
10
What analog synthesizer brand is famous for its 4-pole lowpass filter?
Buchla
ARP
Moog
11
In an analog synth Modulation sources include
VCOs, VCFs, & VCAs
Lowpass, Highpass & Bandpass filters
ADSR EGs, LFOs, & the keyboard itself
12
In a sampler the Root Key
plays a sample back at its original pitch
is the first sample imported into or recorded by the instrument
is always the lowest note in the instrument
13
In a sampler Velocity Zones
utilize multiple samples of the same note on different keys
are very fast sequences of notes
utilize multiple samples of the same note at different dynamic levels
14
A virtual synthesizer is
a hardware synth that includes both analog & digital technology
a software synth, often a plug-in emulation of an analog synthesizer
a hardware instrument that sounds like a synthesizer but is really a sampler
15
In traditional analog synths the most common type of VCF is
a lowpass filter
a notch filter
a spectral filter
16
A moduler synthesizer
tends to be smaller and more compact than a pre-wired synth
includes a set of pre-wired modules optimized for each synth's signature sound
requires patch cables (or the equivalent) to connect its various components (modules)
17
Ring Modulation
is an effect that mimics the sound of an old-fashioned telephone ringer
is an effect that generates a series of sideband frequencies by amplitude-modulating two waves
is a strictly digital effect that requires a specialized pair of complex waves
18
In a sampler Looping
can allow for infinite sustain of a note or rhythmic loop
automatically converts a played melody to its retrograde
allows for rapid repeat notes to be played on a single key
19
A Synthesizer
is a type of analog sampler
creates sounds using either analog or digital means
is by definition an analog-only device
20
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
21
Pusle Width Modulation (PWM)
is only possible on modular synths
is only available on digital emulations of analog synths
allows for dynamically changing the shape of a pulse wave via LFOs or EGs for timbral variations
22
A Modeling instrument
uses analog oscillators and filters to imitate the tones of real instruments
emulates acoustic sounds by recreating their physical components in software
is one that looks good on stage
23
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
24
A Sampler
uses digital oscillators to create buzzy waveforms
uses recordings of notes or sounds as its sound source
is a mixtape with snippets of various songs
25
In FM synthesis a Carrier-Modulator pair
is a pair of (usually) sine wave oscillators that use FM to create rich tones
takes the place of a filter and amplifier EG
is a combined lowpass & highpass filter used to create richer tones
