Modern music has been drastically changed by the use of synthesizers. Synthesizers are electronic musical instruments intended to produce artificially generated sound. Common music synthesis techniques include additive, subtractive, FM, phase distortion, and physical modeling synthesis.
The music synth has practically become an instrument in its own rite. Synth is a shortened term for synthesizer. Synths create sounds by producing electronic waveforms, or through the use of stored samples of sounds from various musical instruments. Robert Moog first made the synth popular in the 1960s. In fact, the tern “synthesizer” was coined after his musical gadgets, which led the way by combining traditional piano-style keyboards with innovative and flexible sound creation potential.
