The role of the LFO in the basic synthesizer setup is to provide automated rhythmic modulation. The signal from the LFO can be used to modulate the pitch, the tone (filter) or the loudness (amplifier). Modulating the pitch produces what musicians call vibrato, modulating the filter produces a wah-wah effect, and modulating the amplitude produces tremolo. These are musical terms.
Based on a virtual analog synth engine the CS is a completely new and unique synthesizer. We'll take a look at what's available and get started with making sounds.
Setting the MIDI Receive Channel can become necessary in some configurations. Here's what you need to know.

reface connection to DAWThe reface can be connected to your computer via USB (direct) or standard MIDI jacks, if you are using an external MIDI interface.
The Amplitude Envelope Generator is responsible for the Output Level over time. It is used to describe how a sound begins (attack), changes (initial decay), sustains and ultimately disappears (release) when you apply the oscillator. The Oscillator is the vibrating object. And the Envelope Generator is responsible for changes in output level.
Let's build some simple Wave shapes to see what Frequency Modulation is all about.
The reface DX goes retro 80s to cutting edge modern at the flick of a switch...literally! Capacitive multi-touch control puts powerful FM synthesis under your fingertips.
