Synthesizers

About

Synthesizers are keyboards that for the most part just produce sounds. Most synthesizers today use sample-based synthesis—that is, they use pre-recorded sounds as opposed to analog synths that manipulate electrical signals to create their sounds. Analog synths still exist, though they are few and far between. Sample-based synths generally provide a much larger sound set, including piano, organ, horns, strings, and even digital re-creations of classic analog synths. Some synths offer basic sequencing functions as well. Synthesizers include a number of sounds built into the ROM. If you are the kind of player who just wants to plug in and start playing, then you'll want a synth with a lot of presets. If you'd rather create your own unique sounds, be sure to select a synth with plenty of user patch locations. Being able to expand the ROM is valuable as well, as it will allow you to update your synth with new or different sound sets.
