Modular software music studio
open-in-new
<p>A <a href="/facts/Module_(programming)/sNoqKvRD">modular</a> <a href="/facts/Software/RP79lVSW">software</a> music studio consists of a plugin architecture that allows the audio to be routed from one plugin to another in many ways, similar to how cables carry an <a href="/facts/Audio_signal_processing/HXvBpspA">audio signal</a> between physical pieces of hardware. </p><p>All aspects of signal <a href="/facts/Sound_synthesis/NrmdVrPa">synthesis</a> and manipulation are handled entirely by the plugin system. Signal synthesis is performed by "Generators" such as synthesizers, noise generator functions, <a href="/facts/Sample-based_synthesis/t9CB2b9E">samplers</a>, and <a href="/facts/Tracker_(music_software)/anJd8Wul">trackers</a>. The signal can then be manipulated further by "Effects" such as distortions, filters, delays, and mastering plugins. </p>
