Workflow overview

Follow these steps to move from idea to final mix

  1. 1
    Turn on the synth using the power button
  2. 2
    Select oscillator waveform: Sine, Square, Sawtooth, or Triangle
  3. 3
    Adjust ADSR envelope: Attack (fade in), Decay (initial drop), Sustain (hold level), Release (fade out)
  4. 4
    Set filter cutoff frequency (100-10000 Hz) and resonance (Q factor)
  5. 5
    Add reverb for space (0-100%)
  6. 6
    Add delay for echo effects (0-100%)
  7. 7
    Test your patch using the virtual keyboard or chord button
  8. 8
    Tweak parameters until you get the sound you want

Frequently asked questions

Answers for licensing, quality, and workflow

What is ADSR?+
ADSR stands for Attack (fade in time), Decay (time to drop to sustain), Sustain (hold level), and Release (fade out time after note ends).
What's the difference between waveforms?+
Sine = pure/smooth, Square = hollow/bright, Sawtooth = harsh/buzzy, Triangle = soft/mellow. Each has a unique harmonic content.
Can I save my patches?+
Patch saving is planned for future updates. Write down your settings for now.
Can I use MIDI input?+
MIDI keyboard support is not yet available. Use the on-screen keyboard for now.
How does the filter work?+
The low-pass filter removes high frequencies above the cutoff point. Increase resonance to emphasize frequencies at the cutoff, creating sharper, more resonant sounds.
What's the difference between reverb and delay?+
Reverb creates ambient space by simulating room reflections. Delay produces distinct echo repetitions. Use both together for depth and dimension.
Can I record my synth output?+
Currently the synth doesn't include built-in recording. Use your operating system's audio recording tools or DAW software to capture the output.
Is this synthesizer polyphonic?+
The current version is monophonic (one note at a time). The chord button demonstrates polyphonic capability, which may be expanded in future updates.
What is resonance (Q)?+
Resonance (Q factor) boosts frequencies near the filter cutoff point. Higher resonance creates more pronounced peaks, adding character and emphasis to the filtered sound.
How do I create a bass sound?+
Start with sawtooth or square wave, set a low filter cutoff (200-500 Hz), short attack (0-10ms), quick decay, high sustain, and short release for punchy bass.
How do I make a pad sound?+
Use sine or triangle wave, slow attack (500-2000ms), moderate decay, high sustain, long release (1000-3000ms), and add reverb for ambient, evolving pads.
What browser works best?+
Modern browsers with Web Audio API support work best: Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari. Chrome and Edge typically offer the best performance.
Can I use this for commercial music?+
Yes, sounds created with Synth Lab can be used in your commercial projects. The tool is free to use without licensing restrictions.
Why does my sound click or pop?+
Clicks occur with very short attack or release times. Increase attack to 5-10ms and release to 20-50ms to eliminate clicks at note start and end.
How do I create a lead sound?+
Try sawtooth wave, medium-high filter cutoff (2000-5000 Hz), moderate resonance, short attack, minimal decay, high sustain, and short release for cutting leads.
