- Stereo: Sound reproduced with spatial separation, perceived through 2 channels (left and right).
- Ladder filter: Type of filter common in analog synthesizers, popularized by Robert Moog, which allows certain frequencies of the sound signal to be attenuated or reinforced.
- Steiner-Parker filter: A type of filter developed by Nyle Steiner and Tom Parker, offering distinct sonic characteristics.
- Modulation: Controlled change of sound parameters over time.
- Mod matrix: Interface allowing you to connect different modulation sources (such as LFOs, envelopes, etc.) to different sound parameters.
- Ribbon: Touch controller, often used to modulate different parameters on a synth.
- Sequencer: Allows you to create and control sequences of notes or sound parameters.
- Arpeggiator: Functionality of a synth that automatically plays a sequence of notes in a predefined pattern.
