ANALOG SYNTHESIZER BASICS

Ananalogsynthesizergeneratestwotypesofsignals:AudioSignalsand

ControlSignals.Audiosignalsarethesoundsyouhearemanatingfromthe

sound creation circuits of an instrument. Control signals, on the other hand,

are used to change and/or modify the settings of these circuits. Due to the

analog nature of the instrument, these Control signals carry a continuously

variable voltage level. These signals are referred to as Control Voltages,

andmostanalogsynthesizercomponentsare“VoltageControlled.”An

additionaltypeofcontrolsignalisknownasaGate,orTrigger,whichis

simply used to initiate an event. Changing Pitch or frequency is an example

of using a Control Voltage; playing a key on a keyboard is an example of

generatingaGatesignal.

Inananalogsynthesizer,eachsetofcircuitsperformsaparticularjob.The

oscillators,lters,andenvelopes,etc.areeachself-containedmodules.

By design, these modules are wired together using both audio signals and

control signals. However, patch points and patch cables can allow these

modules to be reconnected in new ways. This is the basis for the term

ModularSynthesizer.TherstMoogsynthesizersweremodularsynthesizers.

In this diagram of the Werkstatt modules, the solid lines represent audio

signals,andthedottedlinesrepresentcontrolsignals.Thedenitionsand

functions of each module are described in the Werkstatt Features and

Controls section.
