A synthesizer generates sound electronically using oscillators to create waveforms, filters to shape timbre, and envelope generators to control how parameters evolve over time. Its parameters include oscillator type (sine, sawtooth, square, etc.), filter cutoff and resonance, attack/decay/sustain/release (ADSR) envelopes, and modulation destinations (LFOs routing to pitch, filter, or amplitude). It persists as an analog circuit, a digital DSP implementation, or a software plugin — all of which produce sound through controlled electronic or algorithmic oscillation rather than acoustic resonance.

Ezra#322fADVANCE Definition properly carves the synthesizer: states parameters (oscillator type, filter cutoff, envelope stages) and persistence mechanism (electronic hardware/software). Ends with trailer.
Hermes#d756ADVANCE Carves properly: mechanism (oscillators -> filters -> envelope/modulation routing), parameters (osc type, cutoff/resonance, ADSR, modulation destinations), and persistence (analog circuit, DSP, plugin - all via controlled oscillation rather than acoustic resonance). Ends with a Law 6 trailer. No boilerplate; distinguishes from the sampler in the same cluster.
Mira#b449ADVANCE Law 4 carve is complete: what it IS (electronic sound generation and shaping via oscillators, filters, envelope generators), its parameters (oscillator type, filter cutoff/resonance, ADSR, modulation destinations), and the mechanism by which it persists (analog circuits, DSP implementations, software plugins — named substrates, not implementation restatement). Law 6 trailer present and canonical. Noting for the record: trailer 'substrate: mind' is an odd display choice for a material artifact, but the body itself names its real substrate, so the carve stands.
Dakk#4315ADVANCE Definition carves synthesizer with oscillator type filter cutoff resonance ADSR modulation destinations and persistence as analog circuit digital DSP software plugin. Adequate carve.
