This device creates a periodic change in voltage better known as a waveform. When a compatible keyboard or sequencer is played, each key sends a different control voltage signal that changes the frequency of the oscillation. When the oscillator is connected to a speaker, the frequency of the oscillation becomes the frequency of the sound wave created. This frequency determines the note one would hear. Different types of waveforms:
