BASIC SYNTHESIS
SIMPLE is a subtractive synthesizer. Although SIMPLE is design for ease of use, some rudimentary understanding of how subtractive synthesizers work is expected. To maximize your experience with SIMPLE it is important to comprehend the signal flow of basic subtractive synthesis. Above is a basic breakdown of SIMPLE’s signal flow.

You, the keyboardist, play musical notes (which may be altered by the Arpeggiator).
The Oscillators generate the basic signal.
The Filter and Filter Envelope alter the basic signal by filtering-out (removing) portions of the frequency spectrum.
The Volume Envelope shapes the beginning, middle, and end level of the signal over time.
The Mod (Modulation) Matrix transforms the signal by tying processing components to the signal.
Effects then process the signal before it goes to the final output.

OSCILLATOR SECTION

The Oscillator section is where SIMPLE’s audio signal is generated. It features two independent oscillators and their respective controls. Each, with independent SIMPLE Controls.

SHAPE: Controls the waveform shape of the oscillator. The waveform controls are continuously variable, morphing between Sine, Triangle, Saw-Triangle, Sawtooth, Square, and Pulse with adjustable Width.
PITCH: Controls the musical pitch of the oscillator in semitones. TIP: 12 semitones = 1 octave.
FINE TUNE: Controls the musical pitch of the oscillator in cents. TIP: 100 cents = 1 semitone.

VOLUME: Controls the volume of signal generated by the oscillator.
PAN: Controls the stereo position of signal generated by the oscillator between left and right.
NOTE: If VOLUME is adjusted to zero, oscillators intelligently bypass to save CPU.
NOTE: Only one oscillator is described. However, both oscillators function identically.

MODULATION MATRIX SECTION

The Modulation Matrix section holds the Modulation Matrix. The Modulation Matrix allows you to direct modulation sources to modulation destinations. For example, on row 1, you can change modulation destinations, such as the oscillator 1 pitch or filter cutoff, by using after touch, ribbon controllers, or pedals attached to your keyboard as modulation sources. Furthermore, on row 2, using MODIFIER 1 as a modulation destination, you can use sources, such as LFO’s or a Modulation Wheel to Modify the behavior of the modulation source chosen on slot 1. This flexibility opens the possibility to create unique and complex sounds within SIMPLE.
A SIMPLE useful example (pun intended) is to set row 1 source to LFO 1, destination to PITCH, and amount to 10. Play some notes on your keyboard and you will hear that this creates vibrato. Furthermore, set row 2 source to MOD WHEEL, destination to MODIFIER 1, and amount to 100. Your mod wheel will now control (modify) how much vibrato is being added to each note. Play a note and wiggle your mod wheel to hear it.

BYPASS: Click to bypass modulation row.
SOURCE: Click to select a modulation source. The source alters the signal of the destination.
AMOUNT: Controls how much of the source is applied to the destination.
DESTINATION: Click to select a modulation destination. The destination is altered by the source.
NOTE: Only one Modulation Row is described. However, all 16 modulation rows function identically.
NOTE: Click Modulation Matrix menu to clean (clear incomplete rows) or reset the modulation matrix (clear all rows).

FILTER SECTION

The Filter Section features a single multi-mode filter. The purpose of the filter is to remove portions of the signal in the frequency spectrum sent from the oscillators. After being filtered, a brilliant-sounding sawtooth wave can become a smooth, warm sound without sharp treble. There are several filter types. Each has a different effect on various portions of the frequency spectrum.

Low-Pass (LP): Low frequencies are passed; high frequencies are reduced.
High-Pass (HP) : High frequencies are passed; low frequencies are reduced.
Band-Pass (BP): Only frequencies within a frequency band are passed.
Notch (N): Only frequencies within a frequency band are reduced.
Comb/All-Pass (AP): A series of notches within a frequencies spectrum by feeding the signal back into itself delayed.
The dB per octave determines the slope of the filter—the lower it is, the softer the filter sounds.
SHAPE: Click to choose a filter algorithm.
◦ SIMPLE: The original SIMPLE filter.
◦ ANALOG: A new more-accurate analog modeled filter and fatness.
◦ DUPLEX: A new two-series filter with varying internal cutoffs and emphasis differentials, with aggressive distorted fatness.
CUTOFF: Controls the frequency the filter begins to remove harmonics.
EMPHASIS: Emphasizes the frequencies near the cutoff.
FATNESS: Adds filter distortion to the signal.
ENVELOPE AMOUNT: Controls how much the filter follows the filter envelope.
VELOCITY TRACKING: Controls how much the filter follows the velocity of notes played on the keyboard.
KEYBOARD TRACKING: Controls how much the filter follows notes played on the keyboard.

ENVELOPE SECTION
The Envelope Section comprises three envelopes generators that are triggered when playing notes. SIMPLE contains dedicated Filter and Volume envelopes for changing the filter cutoff frequency and volume over time. The third envelope generator can be used to freely control any given sound parameter via Modulation Matrix (see Modulation Matrix Section). Each envelope features four controls—attack, decay, sustain and release.

FILTER ENVELOPE: Controls the rise and fall of the filter cutoff frequency over time.
VOLUME ENVELOPE: Controls the level—or loudness—of the signal over time.
USER ENVELOPE: Controls any assigned sound parameter over time.
ATTACK: Controls how quickly the the initial signal takes to reach its highest point once a key is pressed.
DECAY: Controls how quickly the signal takes to transition to the sustain level after the peak of the attack.
SUSTAIN: Sets the steady signal level produced once a key is held down.
RELEASE: Controls how quickly the signal fades out completely once a key is released.
NOTE: If a key is released during the attack or decay stage, the sustain phase is skipped. A sustain level of zero will produce a piano-like—or percussive—envelope, with no continuous steady level, even when a key is held

LFO SECTION
The LFO Section houses three continuous LFO’s (low frequency oscillators). LFO’s simulate natural instrument effects via Modulation Matrix (see Modulation Matrix Section), such as vibrato (by applying an LFO to pitch) and tremolo (an LFO applied to volume) or create special effects, such as applying an LFO to filter cutoff, creating a phaser-like effect.

SHAPE: Click to choose an LFO waveform shape.
◦ SINE: A sine that adds harmonics as it morphs.
◦ TRIANGLE: A triangle that morphs into a trapezoid then square.
◦ SAW: An upward saw that morphs into a triangle then downward saw.
◦ PULSE: A square that adjusts from narrow to wide.
◦ RAMP: An upward saw that adjust from wide to narrow.
◦ ANALOG SAW: An upward saw that bends from upward to downward when morphed.
◦ RANDOM 1: Random steps that are smoothly connected when morphed.
◦ RANDOM 2: Random high and low alternating steps that are smoothly connected when morphed.
MORPH: Transforms the LFO shape in unique ways.
RATE: Controls the rate of the LFO.
BPM SYNC: Syncs LFO to song tempo if activated.
NOTE: Only one LFO is described. However, all three LFO’s function identically.
