Machines Tab

This consists of a number of functional units called 'machines'. Machines can be connected together to create sounds and sequences of sounds.

There are four types of machine:

• Generator machine: Shown in blue. Generates a sound.
• Processor machine: Shown in cyan. Takes an input from a generator or processor, and is used to alter the sound in some way.
• Controller machine: Shown in green. Can be connected to a generator or processor, and is used to control the behaviour of the machine over time.
• Output machine: Shown in orange. Represents where the sound is output to. This could be a sound card or a file.

Controls
