I love synthesisers

Especially Moog synthesisers

Synthesizers are electronic instruments that use analog or digital processing to generate sound. Synthesized sounds start out as very simple audio signals known as waveforms generated by oscillators (more on these below). As these basic waveforms pass through the various components of the synth, they are sculpted filtered, and augmented in various ways, allowing us to eventually produce an extremely wide range of complex sounds with these instruments. In the early days of synths, they were often used to try to emulate (or synthesize) the sound of traditional acoustic instruments. While they can still be used to do this, synths are much more common these days to create sounds that couldn’t have been dreamed of in the pre-electronic era.
