Digital synths, or digital synthesizers, are electronic instruments that generate sound using digital signal processing. Unlike analog synthesizers, which create sound through voltage-controlled circuits, digital synths use algorithms and samples to produce a wide range of tones and effects. They often come with various features, such as built-in effects, sequencers, and the ability to store presets. These instruments are popular in many music genres, including electronic, pop, and film scoring. Digital synths can emulate traditional instruments or create entirely new sounds, making them versatile tools for musicians and producers. They are often used in conjunction with software like DAWs (Digital Audio Workstations) for music production.
