several wires in audio mixersSynthesizers are instruments that help individuals create and play a variety of sounds. These devices often require additional sound modules, although not all models are the same. They offer a range of different options, features, and capabilities. There are three main categories that these musical instruments fall into: analog, digital, and software. In an analog synthesizer, sound waves are represented by continuous voltages at varying levels, while a digital synthesizer uses discrete data units.
