Digital synthesis is the process of creating sounds using digital technology. It involves generating audio signals through algorithms and mathematical functions, allowing for precise control over various sound parameters. This method is widely used in music production, film scoring, and sound design. One common form of digital synthesis is subtractive synthesis, where complex waveforms are shaped by removing certain frequencies. Another popular technique is FM synthesis, which uses frequency modulation to create rich and dynamic sounds. Digital synthesizers, such as those made by Yamaha and Korg, have become essential tools for musicians and producers.
