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.

Rackmount

Rackmount equipment is designed to be installed into standard 19-inch racks for organised and secure setup. It is used to house sound modules, processors, interfaces, and other hardware in a space-efficient and professional layout. For example, rackmount gear is commonly used in studios or live rigs to keep multiple devices neatly stacked, easily accessible, and permanently wired.

Synths are central to electronic music and modern production, offering flexible sound design for both studio work and live performance.

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.

Voice

A voice is a single complete sound path within an instrument, typically made up of an oscillator, filter, amplifier, and modulation. It determines how many notes can be played at once and how each note is shaped. For example, an instrument with multiple voices can play chords and layered parts, while each voice handles the sound of one note independently.
