GarageBand Analog Basic

The Analog Basic sound is based on the ES2. This is a simple analog synthesizer tone that is useful for a range of musical styles.

• Volume slider: Sets the overall volume level of the instrument.
• Mix slider: Determines the mix level of (balance between) the oscillator signals.
• Tuning slider: Sets the overall pitch of the instrument.
• Cutoff slider: Allows more (high) or less (low) of the sound through, making it brighter or damping it.
• Resonance slider: Emphasizes the frequency range around the point determined by the Cutoff parameter.
• Attack slider: Makes the sound start more slowly or quickly. A fast setting makes it sound like striking a piano key, whereas a slow setting makes it sound like bowing a violin string.
• Decay slider: Makes the harmonic portion of the sound (bright) sustain for a longer time at slow values. Faster values move to the Sustain level more quickly.
• Sustain slider: Determines the level of the sound after the Attack and/or the Decay phase has completed.
