Gadget Guide

Gadget List

Main Parameters

  • Oscillator / VCO
    • Oscillators are responsible for creating basic sound waves.
    • A variety of oscillators are available for the creation of basic waveforms such sawtooth waves and square waves, PCM waveforms appropriate for the reproduction of acoustic instrument gadgets, and VPMs that make it easy to create brass instrument gadgets.
  • Filter / VCF
    • Filter reduce or enhance certain ranges of the sounds produced by oscillators to create a more distinctive tone.
    • Filters can include low pass filters that cut the high frequencies to produce a soft tone, high pass filters that cut out the low frequencies to create bright tones, and bandpass filters that reduce only specified frequencies.
  • Amp / VCA
    • These are used to set the volume, pan, etc.
    • These amplify the sound created by oscillators and filters. 
  • Envelope Generator
    • Sounds tend to have a fixed volume curve.
    • For example, when a piano key is struck it is suddenly loud, and then it slowly dissipates.When you release your finger from the keyboard, you will hear a bit of reverberation.Such a curve creates the distinctive sound of each instrument.
    • Such changes can also affect the tone and the pitch of the sound as well as the volume.It is an Envelope Generator that produces these changes.
    • There are EGs that filter the tone color, and EGs that act as amplifiers to change the volume. 
  • Low Frequency Oscillator
    • An LFO oscillates the low frequencies.
    • This effect is commonly used to apply vibrato (use an LFO to adjust the pitch up and down), apply a “wah” effect (use an LFO to move the tone color up and down), or to create a tremolo effect (use an LFO to move the volume up and down)
  • Effect / FX
    • A variety of useful functions can be used to apply various acoustic effects such as distortion, swell, and echo to the sound.
    • You can make the sound completely different from the original sound, and you can also achieve a wide stereo effect.
