How is a synthesizer used?
Synthesizers are typically keyboard-based instruments that can be played in real-time or sequenced. Synths come in both physical hardware and virtual software forms,and allow users to manipulate parameters such as pitch, volume, and timbre, creating a wide palette of sounds for music production, sound design, and performance.
Is it easy to use a synth?
Though some synths can be complicated, many synths are easy to use, especially if you’re working with pre-made ‘preset’ sounds. In this case you can load up a synth in your DAW, load a preset, then play and sequence it without having to do anything else.
