The Woovebox implements a novel unified synthesizer architecture.

A Woovebox voice is generated by combining up to two oscillators and - in some cases - white noise. Oscillators range from basic waveforms such as sine, saw, pulse and triangle waves, to more complex waveforms such as 5ths, supersaws, user-imported samples, delay taps and even live external audio.

The way your Woovebox combines the oscillators is determined by the algorithm selected ('ALGo'/'Syn ALGo'/3 on the 'GLob' page).

Oscillator 1 and 2, as well as the filter come with an ADSR (attack, decay, sustain, release) envelope generator for amplitude and frequency cut off respectively;

Each voice comes with a multi-mode filter with various "flavours" of filtering (low pass x 2, band pass x 4, high pass x 4). Each filter has a dedicated envelope generator and LFO for the cut-off frequency.

A number of dedicated low frequency oscillators exist to modulate things like amplitude, cut-off frequency and pitch.

Pitch modulation and modification plays an important role in the Woovebox' sound synthesis engine.

Two types of distortion are available; clip distortion and wave folding distortion.

Each track has its own configurable saturation, distortion (choice of clipping or folding distortion) and bit-crushing effects.

In this day and age of massive sample libraries, it can often be tempting to resort to samples. However, synthesizing sounds from scratch can, depending on your goals, lend a subtle authenticity, warmth, liveliness and even nostalgia to a track that is hard (impossible) to capture in a static sample; samples - by their very nature - sound the same every time they are triggered, and that is not how analog or organic timbres truly sound.
