Sound design and synthesis with an AI bot
Every synth sound is source + shape + movement.
What to do
- Oscillator waveforms: sine (pure), saw (bright), square (hollow), triangle (soft).
- Low-pass filters remove highs; resonance emphasizes the cutoff.
- ADSR envelope: attack, decay, sustain, release.
- LFOs add movement (vibrato, wobble).
