The synthesizer is an instrument that will allow users to create their own custom sounds. It is as an adjustable synthesizer instrument (ID 55). Similar to the 8-bit instruments, it makes use of the Web Audio API instead of samples. When selecting the instrument, the synthesizer tab is shown, with the following options:

The synthesizer tab
  1. Waveform: the base waveform and sound to use for the instrument. Can be sine, square, sawtooth, or triangle.
  2. Filter: The type of filter pass and frequency to use can be selected with the dropdown menu and slider. A low pass, high pass, and band pass are available.
    • The high pass and band pass were mislabeled as each other.
  3. Oscillator waveform: The waveform to use for the oscillator.
  4. Oscillator frequency/toggle: Allows one to turn the oscillator on or off, along with its period relative to a measure or by frequency.
  5. Oscillator type and amplitude: The dropdown menu allows one to select what the oscillators affects; volume, pitch, and the filter intensity can be adjusted. The slider controls the effect of the oscillation.
  6. ADSR (Attack, Decay, Sustain, and Release): ADSR can be toggled on the left side of the tab. When enabled, the ADSR sliders will control the attack, delay, sustain, and release of the synthesizer.
