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.
