Subtractive
Additive
FM
Granular Synthesis
2
Basically, Maelström's Mod A and Mod B sections are:

LFOs
Envelopes
Filters
3
LFO stands for...
Long Frequency Output
Low Frequency Oscillator
Loop Feedback Oscillator
Loud Filter Output
4
Which of the following is a parameter for fine-tuning the pitch?
Cent
Semi
Waveform
Oct
5
Timbre is:
the frequency of a sound and its resulting overtones
the color of a sound
the distance between the lowest and highest notes
the basic frequency of a sound
6
The Reason devices used in this course are Subtractor, Malström, and:
NN-19
NN-XT
Dr. Octo-Rex
Thor
7
The Modulation Matrix in Thor will let you modulation nearly anything with ______ .
velocity
nearly anything
the amplitude envelope
the modulation envelope
8
What are the 4 basic sections of a subtractive synthesizer?
Oscillator, LFO, Preset, Effect
Wavetable, Preset, Filter, Effect

True
False
10
Which type of filter will attenuate high frequencies?
Low Pass
High Pass
Notch
All answers are correct
11
The Sustain parameter sets the:
sustain time
sustain level
12
In Reason's Malström, Mod A and Mod B can be applied in three ways: To Oscillator one, oscillator two, and both oscillators at the same time. True or false?
True
False
13
In Reason's Malström, when we turn the Motion knob to the left, we are:
slowing down the audio file
lowering the pitch of the audio file
slowing down the rate the at which the synth will advance through the grains
slowing the rate of the modulation
14
In a combinator, we can only add 1 effect per device. True or false?
False
True
15
In order to see the devices inside of Reason's Combinator, we need to press the button labeled:
Show Interface
Show Devices
Show Routing
Show Settings
16
A very slow attack and release on the Amp Envelope is good to create:
bass sounds
organ sounds
lead sounds
pad sounds
17
ADSR stands for:
Always Decide to Support Reason
Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release,
Amplitude, Decay, Sustain, Resonance
Amplitude, Damping, Sustain, Resonance
18
What are the four most standard waveforms?
Rectangle, Triangle, Circle, Square
Sine, Triangle, Square, Rectangle
Sine, Rectangle, Square, Sawtooth
Sine, Triangle, Square, Sawtooth
19
We start Thor's pattern sequencer by pressing the Run button, with one of three settings: Repeat, 1-Shot, or Step. What does the 1-shot setting do?
Waits for the next Run button to be pressed
Plays the next beat of the pattern, then stops
Plays the pattern one time through, then stops
Plays the next step in the pattern sequencer, then stops
20
In FM Synthesis, we need two signals. A Carrier signal, and a _______ signal.
Modifier
Modulator
Multiplier
Manipulator
21
Velocity refers to how hard we play the note on a keyboard. In Subtractor, this can be applied to:
Amplitude (volume)
Mix Amount
FM Amount
All answers are correct
22
In Graintable Synthesis, a "grain" is:
a tiny slice of audio
an index point
a seed from which a sound sample grows
a point at which a filter slopes down
23
There are ____ semitones in an octave.
24
8
100
12
24
In Reason's Malström, when we don't select any of the boxes from routing the signal, where does the sound go?
Nowhere-it does not output
Immediately to the Filter
Immediately to the Shaper
Immediately to the output
25
In a filter, the cutoff frequency is:
The frequency at which the slope of the cutoff begins
The frequency at which the slope of the cutoff ends
The frequency reached when the knob is turned all the way clockwise
The frequency reached when the knob is turned all the way counterclockwise
