synthesis
Synthesizers
A few Types of Synthesis:
subtractive synthesis = fewer expensive oscillators (just one complex, rich one)
physical modeling synthesis = mathematical, using algorithms to create harmonic and acoustic characteristics
How an oscillator works (DC turns into AC … constant voltage (signal) oscillates at a specific frequency)
Samplers
use same parameters as synthesizers … so worth understanding the parameters
Audio Unit (AU) and VST instruments (for notation software) vs. General MIDI
