8-voice indicates that an instrument can play up to eight notes simultaneously. It is used to perform chords, layered harmonies, and sustained parts without notes cutting off. For example, an 8-voice synthesiser allows complex chord voicings or evolving pad sounds to be played smoothly while maintaining clarity and balance across each note.
Desktop refers to instruments designed for tabletop or studio use rather than keyboard-based performance. Desktop units are compact, self-contained devices controlled via knobs, buttons, sequencers, or external controllers, making them ideal for studio workflows and modular setups.
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.

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.
Wavetable is a method of sound generation that uses a collection of digital waveforms stored in tables. It is used to create evolving and complex tones by smoothly scanning or switching between different wave shapes. For example, wavetable synthesis can be used to produce moving pads, shifting basses, or textured leads that change character over time.
