I'm new to synthesizers and encountering some unfamiliar terms. Can you help me understand what 'Aftertouch', 'DCO - Digitally Controlled Oscillator', and 'CV (Control Voltage)' mean? Please provide their definitions from the Vintage Synth Explorer glossary.
Navigate to 'vintagesynth.com' Click on the 'Resources' link. Click on the 'Glossary of Synth Terms' link. Locate and extract the definition for 'Aftertouch'. Locate and extract the definition for 'DCO - Digitally Controlled Oscillator'. Locate and extract the definition for 'CV (Control Voltage)'.
Successfully navigate to the 'Glossary of Synthesizer Terms' page. Provide the exact definition for 'Aftertouch': 'A type of pressure controlled MIDI data determined by how hard you press a key or group of keys on a keyboard after the initial attack, and while the key is being held down. Sometimes called Poly Pressure. It is typically used to add expression to a performance.' Provide the exact definition for 'DCO - Digitally Controlled Oscillator': 'An analog oscillating circuit controlled and monitored by a digital microchip. This offers a very stable, accurate, self tuning analog sound in a synth and is less likely to overheat or drift out of tune.' Provide the exact definition for 'CV (Control Voltage)': 'Control Voltages are used by analog synthesizers to control the oscillators, filters, envelopes generators, LFOs and other components. Originating in modular systems where it was necessary to patch these components together, CV jacks can also be found among hard-wired synthesizers where they were used as an early form of external MIDI-like control for connecting them to other analog devices. CV input and/or output jacks may also be labeled OSC In, Keyboard In, VCO in, or Key Volt.'
