Learn synthesis

Hands-on steps from one oscillator to a full patch. Each step sets up a board for you, so there's only one or two blocks to add or settings to change. Play with them, then match the target. Hints are there if you want them.

Step 13 of 16

A pitch envelope makes a hit

A pitch envelope bends each note up at the start and lets it fall back. A big, fast drop turns a low sine into a kick drum; a small one adds a click or a laser zap.

Amount is how far above the note it starts. Decay is how quickly it falls back.

Your turn. Add the Pitch env. Each note in the target starts high and drops fast, like a kick.
