  2. Synthesizer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthesizer

    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 .

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Realistic_Concertmate_MG-1

    The Realistic Concertmate MG-1 is an analog synthesizer co-developed by Tandy and Moog Music as a basic, low-priced synthesizer to be sold by Radio Shack under their "Realistic" brand. With estimated unit sales of 23,000 from 1982 to 1983, the MG-1 became the best-selling synthesizer ever manufactured by Moog Music, [ 2 ] and is one of the most ...

  4. Physical modelling synthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_modelling_synthesis

    The first commercially available physical modelling synthesizer made using waveguide synthesis was the Yamaha VL1 in 1994. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] While the efficiency of digital waveguide synthesis made physical modelling feasible on common DSP hardware and native processors, the convincing emulation of physical instruments often requires the introduction ...

    Computer and synthesizer technology joining together changed the way music is made and is one of the fastest-changing aspects of music technology today. Max Mathews , an acoustic researcher [ 9 ] at Bell Telephone Laboratories ' Acoustic and Behavioural Research Department, is responsible for some of the first digital music technology in the 1950s.

    Welsh music writer Mark Jenkins commented that the album "achieved a dynamic compromise between imaginative sound textures and accessible melodies that for one reason or another had been denied to earlier synthesizer artists". [72] The album has been used for music therapy, meditation and births. [32]

  8. Software synthesizer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_synthesizer

    A software synthesizer or softsynth is a computer program that generates digital audio, usually for music. Computer software that can create sounds or music is not new, but advances in processing speed now allow softsynths to accomplish the same tasks that previously required the dedicated hardware of a conventional synthesizer .

  9. Subtractive synthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subtractive_synthesis

    Until the advent of digital synthesizers, subtractive synthesis was the nearly universal electronic method of sound production. [5] Its popularity was due largely to its relative simplicity. [6] Subtractive synthesis was so prevalent in analog synthesizers that it is sometimes called "analog synthesis". [7]
