Digital Music Vocabulary

Analog sound : sound that the human ear can hear. ______sound is created when an object produces sound waves. A voice, a phonograph needle, and an amplifier all produce analog sound.
Digital sound : sound that is created by a synthesizer using ones and zeros. Also, analog sound that has been converted into ones and zeros by an analog to digital converter. For __________ ______ to be heard by humans, it has to be translated into analog sound.
Magnetic signals : electrical signals that produce areas of magnetization on plastic Mylar audio tape.
Oscillator : a computer’s internal clock that creates extremely rapid frequencies. __________ run at hundreds of millions of pulses per second.
Synthesizer : an electronic device that uses oscillators, filters, and amplifiers to produce synthesized sounds or to imitate musical instruments.
Sampling : the act or process of converting analog audio to digital audio so that it can be used with a synthesizer or sequencer.
Sequencer : an electronic device or software program that puts segments of digital audio into a sequence. It can be used to sequence the sounds produced by more than one synthesizer.
Waveform : the shape and frequency of analog sound waves.
Cycle : a portion of an audio waveform that repeats. The volume and pitch of a sound can influence the frequency and shape of the ______.
Analog to digital converter : a machine that translates analog sound into the digital language of ones and zeros. The converter turns music into a language that computers can understand. The term is sometimes shortened to “A/D converter.”
Controller : a musical instrument, keyboard, or other object used to control the sounds produced by a synthesizer. Many ______communicate with a synthesizer through an analog-to-digital converter.
Melody : a sequence of musical tones used to produce a rhythmic song or tune.
Harmony : the simultaneous playing of two or more musical tones. ____________are generally pleasing to the ear.
Musical scale : a series of musical tones arranged in a sequence of rising and falling pitches. All music is written using _________.
Binary computer language : a computer language consisting of ones and zeros. All computers operate using binary language. Analog-to-digital converters turn analog audio into binary language, which is then converted by the computer into digital music.
