Roland SH-32 Modifying the Sound

Modifying the Sound
Creating Sounds
The SH-32 creates sounds in much the same way as other analog type synthesizers,
as shown below.
fig.008
OSC (Oscillators)
Generate the basic waveforms used as the sound source by the synthesizer (p. 27).
FILTER
Alters the tone color by cutting or boosting the harmonic content of the waveforms
created by the oscillators (p. 29).
AMP (Amplifier)
Produces changes in the amplitude of the sound, and creates the attack or decay
portions of a sound (p. 31).
LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator)
An extra slow-rate oscillator that controls the oscillators, filter and amp, creating
effects such as vibrato (p. 32).
Effects
Insert or create various effects such as reverb, delay, flanger, etc. (p. 34)
