4.6. Summary
That's the basic flow of signal within the JUP-8 V4. As long as you keep these concepts in
mind, you'll be able to craft a sound that's right for your project:
The oscillator modules generate the basic sound; everything after that in the
chain is dependent upon the sound they originate.
The filters have the ability to take away or filter certain parts of the audio
spectrum generated by the oscillators. The VCF will also stop the signal in its
tracks entirely when it is closed.
The VCA, under control of ENV-2, determines the final time contour of the signal
output: how fast it fades or jumps in, how long the initial "hit" lasts, how loud it
will be when you hold the key, and how fast it will fade away after you release
the key.
Modulators don't make sound; they are inputs that affect the pitch, filter, and level
of the sound in the audio path.
The next chapters cover these sections in detail.
