- Additive: Multiple sine wave harmonics are combined.
- Conventional: Single cycle waveforms, subtractive architecture (filtered harmonics).
- FM: Oscillators use Frequency or Phase Modulation.
- Rompler: ROM based samples (often subtractive).
- Sampler: User recorded samples (often subtractive).
- Modelling: Digital model, usually involving a Driver and Modulators.
