Yamaha, based in Japan, is one of the world’s most respected instrument makers. They changed the game with the DX7 in the 1980s, pioneering FM synthesis that defined the sound of a decade. Today they continue with powerful workstations like Montage and MODX, plus digital pianos found on stages everywhere. Yamaha gear is known for reliability, road-readiness and excellent support. For musicians who want long-lasting instruments that still inspire creativity, Yamaha remains a top choice.

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.
Generator is a sound source that creates raw audio signals used as the foundation for synthesis. This can include oscillators, noise sources, or digital sound engines that are shaped and controlled to produce musical tones, textures, and effects.
A module is a self-contained unit designed to perform a specific function within a larger system. Modules are commonly used in modular and Eurorack setups, where each unit handles tasks such as sound generation, modulation, filtering, or control, allowing systems to be built and expanded piece by piece.
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.
