Homonym: Synth (Synthesizer)
Synth is a type of electronic musical instrument that generates sound through various methods, including oscillators and filters. It allows musicians to create a wide range of sounds, from imitating traditional instruments to producing entirely new tones. Synths can be played in real-time or programmed to create sequences, making them versatile tools in music production.
There are different types of synths, such as analog synths, which use voltage-controlled circuits, and digital synths, which rely on computer algorithms. Many modern synths also include features like MIDI compatibility, enabling them to connect with other electronic devices and software for enhanced music creation.
