Modulator and X-Envelope) let any user alter each synth parameter so
deeply that one can eectively use west coast synthesis techniques to
craft the timbre. Indeed, one can easily make a good sounding patch using
a single oscillator with Mono ! Let’s dive into each part.
Oscillator block
Mono oers 2 analog oscillators with continuously variable waveforms,
thru-zero frequency modulation, and hard sync. For the electronic geeks
among us, the oscillators are based around a unique discrete asymmetric
East coast synthesis
VCO VCF VCA
East coast synthesis usually describe subtractive synthesis
techniques, where the sound designers start with an oscillator
rich in harmonics, and then shape the sound by removing
(subtracting) harmonics with lters.
West coast synthesis
EG VCO LPG
West Coast synthesis describes a dierent approach. It
tipically feature oscillators with simple shapes, that are then
heavily modulated using FM and waveshaping techniques to
create complex timbre.
