How can a synthesizer produce sounds?
A synthesizer is capable of producing sound by generating and combing signals of different frequencies, and manipulating them. A Synthesiser creates “signals” rather than acoustic sound, in order to “imitate” other sound and produce a widen range of sonic possibilities, depending on the architecture of the synthesizer itself. The Oscillator (VCO-DCO) produce frequencies than can be filtered (filter) and amplified (VCA-DCA). These parameters can also be modified by envelope generator ADSR EG (time-linear) or LFO (time-cyclic). Please refer to more technical web site about this really interesting topic.
