     13 DESCRIPTION
     14 -----------
     15 
     16 *zynaddsubfx* is a polyphonic multimbral synthesizer, which supports three
     17 synthesis engines and numerous effects to generate sound.
     18 
     19 1) ADsynth generates sounds by adding a number of voices.
     20    Each voice has filters, envelopes, LFOs, morphing, modulation
     21    (Ring Modulation, Phase Modulation... the modulators can have any
     22    shape), resonance, etc...
     23    Each voice includes a waveform generator with up to 128 sine/non-sine
     24    harmonics.
     25    You can use Fourier synthesis or if you don't like it you
     26    can wave-shaping/filtering of functions.
     27 
     28 2) SUBsynth is a simple engine which makes sounds through
     29    harmonic filtering of white noise
     30 
     31 3) PADsynth is an engine that makes very beautiful pads and other instruments,
     32    which can be exported for use with other programs.
     33 
     34 Midi and audio support exists for OSS, ALSA, JACK, and others...
