Hi,

beginner question here (I didn't find any documentation, but please
point me in the right direction if there is one).

I'm just trying to learn a bit about sound synthesis, so I'm starting to
play a bit with Yoshimi. The information that I was following talks
about subtractive synthesis, so I wanted to try that one first, but as
far as I can see, with the Yoshimi GUI and subtractive synthesis I
cannot select the waveform of the oscillator? (I assume it will be a
sine wave?) Is this correct?

Since I want to experiment with different waveforms, I thought I could
try additive synthesis instead and have only 1 voice. In this case, the
additive synthesis and the subtractive one are basically the same?
(Basically I just need to be able to play with the oscillator waveform,
then apply some filtering to it, and some ADSR amplitude envelope, which
I think I can do all just fine from the ADDsynth interface?

Sorry if I got it all wrong or confused everybody :-) I did know
absolutely nothing about sound synthesis 24 hours ago :-)

Thanks,
Hi,

you should be able to do that all from the AdSynth interface. Edit the AddSynth and click show voice parameters / Show Voice list.

Here's some documentation which you might find useful
