Glossary
Filter Cutoff:
The frequency that marks the transition from the filter's passband to
the filter's stopband. Usually it is defined as the frequency at which
the signal is attenuated by 3 dB.
FM:
FM or "Frequency Modulation" is a process where the frequency of
one oscillator (the carrier) is controlled by another (the modulator).
When the frequency of the modulator is periodic and below the audio
range (less than 20 Hz) vibrato is produced. When the modulation
frequency is within the audio range, Frequency Modulation is
produced.
Modulation Matrix: A signal "junction" where a source signal can be patched so that it
controls a destination signal. The RMV's Modulation Matrix is used
for tasks such as modulating an envelope parameter by Velocity.
Noise:
A sound with a distributed spectrum. The most common form of
noise, "white" noise, has a "hissing" sound.
Oscillator:
A signal source that generates a periodic waveform at a given
frequency.
Zero-Crossing:
The point where the polarity of an electrical or sampled signal
changes from positive to negative (or vice-versa) as it passes
through zero. A zero crossing provides a convenient point to splice
two sounds because the levels of the two splice points are the same
at zero volts.
