Modulators

This lesson talks about the most common modulators that can be found in synthesizers. Common modulators are envelopes and low frequency modulators.

Envelopes

An envelope refers to the way a a sound changes over time related to elements such as amplitude, filters or pitch. This lesson explains envelopes as they are used in synthesizers. Envelopes are used as a modulator that is connected to the MIDI note on and off information.

LFOs

LFOs (low-frequency oscillation) is an electronic frequency which is usually below 20 Hz and creates a rhythmic pulse or sweep. This lesson explains low frequency oscillators or in short LFOs. LFOs are used as a modulation source which can control various parameters in a synthesizer.
