The Important stuff

Synthesizers —

A Synthesizer is an electronic instrument that generates sound using oscillators, filters, and modulation rather than traditional strings or hammers. They can produce anything from classic analogue tones and deep basses to experimental textures, pads, and cutting-edge digital sounds.

Synths come in many forms — from portable desktop modules to full-sized keyboards — and can be analogue, digital, or hybrid. They often include controls for shaping waveforms, envelopes, filters, and effects, giving musicians near-limitless sound design potential.

Used in genres from electronic and dance to rock, pop, and film scoring, synthesizers are the go-to tool for creating unique tones and expanding musical creativity.
