Around in a variety of forms since the 19th Century, Synthesizers are electronic devices that create sound – maybe imitating an acoustic instrument or creating new timbres from scratch.
Synthesizers come in a number of forms. The most recognisable for most would be as a keyboard. They also come as desktop units without a keyboard. Another big difference between synthesizers is whether they are analogue or digital. Analogue units generate the sound from electronic circuits, where as digital models create sound on computer chips in the units.
These days many users synthesise all of their sounds with software, but hardware units are still popular for a number of reasons (in fact they are enjoying a recent increase in popularity). Hardware units are dedicated to their purpose with controls specific to their function. Many people prefer the sound from these units, and they also offer a point of difference, giving you a specific ‘sound’.
