  • 1

    What is the core principle of additive synthesis?

    Combining multiple sine waves (harmonics) at different frequencies/amplitudes to create complex sounds.

  • 2

    What instrument historically used additive synthesis via tonewheels?

    The Hammond organ (91 spinning discs generating sine waves).

  • 3

    What does the 8' drawbar on a Hammond organ control?

    The fundamental frequency of the note.

  • 4

    Name two iconic additive synthesizers.

    Fairlight CMI (32 partials) and Synclavier.

  • 5

    What is the signal flow of a subtractive synth?

    Oscillator → Filter → Amplifier → Output.

  • 6

    What role does the LFO play in subtractive synthesis?

    Modulates parameters (pitch, filter cutoff, amplitude) for movement.

  • 7

    Name two classic subtractive synths.

    Minimoog, ARP Odyssey.

  • 8

    Who developed FM synthesis, and which company commercialized it?

    John Chowning (Stanford); licensed to Yamaha (DX7).

  • 9

    What are "carrier" and "modulator" oscillators? (2)

    Carrier: Audible sound, Modulator: Alters the carrier's frequency to create sidebands.

  • 10

    What does a 2:1 ratio mean in FM synthesis?

    The modulator's frequency is double the carrier's, creating complex harmonics.

  • 11

    What is a "grain" in granular synthesis?

    A tiny slice of audio (1-100ms) that can be pitch/time-stretched.

  • 12

    Who pioneered granular synthesis with tape splicing?

    Iannis Xenakis (1950s) and Curtis Roads (computer granular, 1970s).

  • 13

    Name 3 parameters for manipulating grains.

    Grain size (duration), Rate (spacing between grains), Position (start point).

  • 14

    How does wavetable synthesis differ from subtractive?

    Morphs between pre-recorded digital waveforms (not filtering).

  • 15

    What was the first wavetable synth?

    PPG Wave (1970s, 32 wavetables with 64 waveforms each).

  • 16

    Name a modern wavetable softsynth.

    Xfer Serum, Ableton Wavetable.

  • 17

    What is multi-sampling?

    Recording a sound at multiple pitches to avoid unnatural pitch-shifting.

  • 18

    What 1980s sampler was pivotal for hip-hop?

    Akai MPC60 (introduced crossfade looping/time-stretch).

  • 19

    What was the first digital sampler?

    Computer Music Melodian (1976, monophonic, 12-bit).

  • 20

    What does an LFO modulate in a synth?

    Pitch (vibrato), filter cutoff (wah), amplitude (tremolo).

  • 21

    What effect mimics the Doppler effect using rotating speakers?

    Leslie speaker (fast/slow speeds for chorale/tremolo).

  • 22

    What's the difference between chorus and flanger?

    Chorus: Longer delays (15-35ms). Flanger: Shorter delays (<15ms).

  • 23

    What are the three main types of Foley sounds?

    Feet (footsteps), movement (cloth rustling), specifics (door creaks).

  • 24

    Why is Foley used in film?

    Enhances realism (e.g., footsteps sync to picture).

  • 25

    What are the four main parts of a subtractive synth?

    Oscillator, filter, amplifier, LFO.

  • 26

    What does ADSR stand for?

    Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release (envelope stages).

  • 27

    What is the difference between keyboard synthesis and a keyboard?

    KEYBOARD SYNTHESIS - PROCESS OF GENERATING AND MANIPULATING SOUND USING AN ELECTRONIC KEYBOARD OR A SYNTHESIZER. SYNTHESIZERS (SYNTHS) - CREATE SOUND BY GENERATING WAVEFORMS THROUGH METHODS, SUCH AS SUBTRACTIVE, ADDITIVE, AND FREQUENCY MODULATION (FM)

  • 28

    What was the first synth?

    The Telhamonium (1897)

  • 29

    What are the 4 main oscillator shapes?

    Sine, Square, Triangle, Sawtooth
