initial phase
In SFX Machine Pro, initial phase is the phase angle (the point in the
cycle) at which a waveform begins.
Often it is best to specify an initial phase of 0°; this helps avoid
initial clicks, since the sine of 0° is a zero-crossing.
link
A user-configurable connection that allows you to change the
contents of a value entry field on the Preset Editor by using one of
the sliders on the Slider Screen. Also referred to as “slider mapping.”
LFO
A Low-Frequency Oscillator, generally used for adding vibrato or
tremolo or otherwise controlling an audio signal. “Low-frequency”
implies frequencies below the audio range (20 Hz — 20 kHz), i.e.,
frequencies low enough that they aren’t heard as a tone.
lowpass
A lowpass filter passes the frequencies below the specified cutoff
and rolls off (attenuates) the higher frequencies.
master link
A master link is the first field linked to a slider with multiple links.
Changing the value of the master link may also change the values of
the associated slave links by a similar proportion.
master volume
A slider that controls the overall level of a mix. In SFX Machine Pro,
create a master volume slider by linking all the left and right output
amplitude fields to a single slider.
mix
In SFX Machine Pro, mix modulation (or mixing) is simply a way of
routing the output amplitude of one module into the input of
another.
A module’s source signal is mixed (averaged) together with any
incoming mix signals, then modulated by any incoming amplitude
or ring modulations, before entering the specified process.
