What is the synthesizer?

associated with the movement of electronic music, the synthesizer is an electronic tool, sometimes accessible via a keyboard that creates and combines the progress of used acoustic instrumental samples, called wave synthesis or electronically, using FM synthesis. In real time and synthesizers that work in real time. The term compositional machines were designed to cover early products such as RCA Electronic Music Synthesizer® and Siemens Synthesizer®, both made in the 1950s.

After precursors at the end of the 1940s designed by Harald Bode and Hughem Le Caine, a device generating sound with remote operation was developed by voltage control. Commercial synthesizers appeared in 1964, which recorded the introduction of the synthesizer Donald Buchly Calvedl "Buchla®" on which he worked with composer Morton Subotic, modular synthesizer Robert A. Moog, on which he worked with composer Herbert Deutsch and Paolo KEtoff's Synket. Buchla decided not to use the term synthesizer for its tools.

Digital synthesis that enabled programming of patches in the synthesizer software, rather than filtering through filters or circuits, entered the scene in 1971.

The digital interface of the musical instrument, shortened as MIDI, was introduced in 1983 and created a better substitute for tension control. In the same year, Yamaha incorporated Midi to create a digital synthesizer that included it, DX7. After developing microcomputers in the mid -80.

Once digital recording of external sounds called "sampling", affordable and affordable, in the mid -80s became the main generator of Timbres for all electroniche tools. The Timbre option has spread to include inhuman sounds, as well as world instruments, animals and other sounds are available.
