Hi all, I thought it would be a good idea to make a thread with all the production related terms with descriptions in one place.

Please post every term with description you know and I will edit them in this post.

Filter - Removes frequencies from a sound
LFO - Low-frequency oscillation/oscillator
Noise - not exactly a waveform, but a source of sound produced by a certain colour of noise.
Oscillator - Oscillators produce the original sound which you can hear in your patches, which is then fed through the rest of the signal path in the synthesizer.
Pitch - The quality that makes it possible to judge sounds as "higher" and "lower"
Pulse Wave - a variation on the above, the pulse wave is half as wide as a square wave, and has the unique ability to have its width modulated (called ‘Pulse Width Modulation').
Saw Wave - shaped like the teeth on a saw blade, this produces a very common sharp, biting tone.
Sine Wave - a smooth rising and falling shape (like a horizontal ‘S'), this produces a mild, soft tone.
Square Wave - looks like a (near) perfect square, produces a reedy, hollow sound.
Triangle Wave - unsurprisingly shaped like a triangle, this sounds somewhere in between a saw wave and a sine wave.
Vibrato - The violin type sound made by assigning an lfo to the pitch by a small amount.
