A synthesizer (also synthesiser [1] or synth) is an electronic musical instrument that generates audio signals. Synthesizers typically create sounds by generating waveforms through methods including subtractive synthesis , additive synthesis and frequency modulation synthesis .
This is a list of electronic music genres, consisting of genres of electronic music, primarily created with electronic musical instruments or electronic music technology.A distinction has been made between sound produced using electromechanical means and that produced using electronic technology.

Schematic diagram of additive synthesis. The inputs to the oscillators are frequencies and amplitudes .. Harmonic additive synthesis is closely related to the concept of a Fourier series which is a way of expressing a periodic function as the sum of sinusoidal functions with frequencies equal to integer multiples of a common fundamental frequency.

The first commercial Moog synthesizer, commissioned by the Alwin Nikolais Dance Theater of NY in 1964. Experiments in tape manipulation or musique concrète, early computer music and early sampling and sound manipulation technologies paved the way for both manipulating and creating new sounds through technology.
A digital synthesizer is a synthesizer that uses digital signal processing (DSP) techniques to make musical sounds, in contrast to older analog synthesizers, which produce music using analog electronics, and samplers, which play back digital recordings of acoustic, electric, or electronic instruments. Some digital synthesizers emulate analog ...
A synthesizer or synthesiser is a collection of electronic devices that modify or manipulate an electronically generated musical tone or sound source. Synthesizer or synthesiser may also refer to: Frequency synthesizer , an electronic system for generating any of a range of frequencies from a single fixed timebase or oscillator
