Sound Synthesis involves creating sounds using LFO's to create waveforms. What sounds do the wave forms make?

• smooth with some buzz;

• 
• Rich and buzzy

• 
• Harsh and buzzy

• 
• Smooth and clean

• 

There are 4 stages to each wave form. The ​ (a)   determines how long a sound takes from a key being pressed to reach its full volume. The ​ (b)   describes the length of time the sound takes to reach the sustained level of sound after the peak of the attack. This is often used to change the overall sound of the track.​ (c)   describes the volume of the sound between the decay and the release. Apart from the attack, the ​ (d)   will describe the overall volume of the sound. The ​ (e)   describes the end of the sound. It allows us to see how long the sound takes to end after releasing the key. 

• attack
