In the context of audio synthesis and digital signal processing, a **unit generator** (often abbreviated as "UG") refers to a basic building block or module that generates or processes audio signals. Unit generators can produce sounds, modify existing audio signals, or perform various signal processing tasks. They are typically used in synthesis environments, modular synthesizers, or programming languages designed for audio, such as Max/MSP, Pure Data, or SuperCollider.
