A software synthesizer, also sometimes known as a virtual synth, is a computer program designed to create and control a variety of sounds. The concept of the modern synthesizer was defined by Robert Moog in the mid to late 1960\’s, but software synthesizers did not become popular until the late 1990\’s.
