Stuff About Synths

Synths are electronic instruments designed for creating and shaping sound, from classic analogue-style tones to modern digital textures. Used for basslines, leads, pads and experimental sound design, they play a central role in many styles of music. If you enjoy hands-on creativity and exploring new sonic ideas, synths offer a powerful and expressive way to make music.

The Important stuff

1980s. 61-Key — A 61-key instrument provides a wide playing range suited to expressive performance, composition, and studio work. It offers enough keys for two-handed playing, complex chords, and melodic movement without the size of a full piano keyboard. For example, a 61-key synthesiser is often used to perform layered pads with one hand while playing melodies or bass lines with the other. . Digital — Digital is sound generation and processing based on digital signal processing rather than analogue circuitry. It is used for precise control, stable tuning, patch memory, and complex sound design that would be difficult to achieve with purely analogue systems. For example, a digital instrument might be used to create detailed evolving textures or realistic emulations while storing and recalling complete sound setups instantly. . Sampling. Synthesizer — A synthesizer is an electronic instrument that generates and shapes sound using oscillators, filters, envelopes, and modulation sources. It allows sounds to be created from scratch, altered in real time, and controlled through keys, sequencers, or external controllers. Synthesizers are used to produce everything from basses and leads to pads, textures, and experimental sound design in both studio production and live performance..
