Use the Oscillator node when you want a direct, classic synth source. It reacts to note input and can be shaped by an envelope, expanded by a chord node, driven by an arpeggiator, and modulated by an LFO target input.
FM Mod is a more advanced pitched generator designed for metallic, animated, and harmonically rich timbres. It still behaves like a note-driven source, but its tone is defined by the relationship between the carrier and the modulator.
Use Sample when you want to play a single imported sound chromatically from the keyboard, inline piano, MIDI controller, or sequencer. The original sample plays at normal speed around A4, then follows the notes you trigger.
Use Granular when you want to transform an imported sound into pads, swarms, freezes, noisy attacks, or evolving textures. It responds to note input like other pitched sources, then plays many short grains from the loaded audio.
The Drum Machine node bundles drum sample management and pattern programming into the graph itself. Each page has its own bank selection and pattern length, which makes it suitable for building variations quickly.
