A synthesizer, or synth, is an electronic instrument or software instrument 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.
There are three main types of synthesizers: analog synthesizers, digital synthesizers and software synthesizers.
