More about Synthesizers at Sound Productions

Synthesizers (alternatively spelled synthesiser and called synths for short) are electronic musical instruments that generate audio signals. Synthesizers get their name because their audio signals are generated according to a type of synthesis that creates a waveform of sound. Because these waveforms can be controlled, using a synth provides versatility in adapting how a sound is sculpted, and can simulate and blend a variety of sounds to create unique audio experiences.
