With a high resonance level, the filter itself will begin to produce a sound close to a sine waveform
with no outside input, which is referred to as self-oscillation. At this stage, the use of a key follow

The amplifier or VCA
The amplifier (Voltage Controlled Amplifier) receives the audio signal coming from the filter (or
directly from the oscillator if it is not being filtered) to be adjusted before the volume is sent to the
speakers.

In conclusion, here is a diagram that should help you to understand the composition of a basic

The keyboard
To start and stop the sound at a specific pitch, we most often use a keyboard that is connected to
the ADSR through a gate and separately to the frequency control of the oscillators. This will «play»
