Questions about General Synthesizers

What's the difference between analog and digital synthesizers?

Analog synths use electronic circuits to generate sound, known for their warmth, while digital synths use algorithms, offering broader sonic possibilities and precise control.

What does 'polyphony' mean in the context of a synthesizer?

Polyphony refers to the number of notes a synthesizer can play simultaneously; higher polyphony allows for richer chords and layered sounds.

How important is modulation when choosing a synthesizer?

Modulation is crucial for dynamic and evolving sounds, allowing parameters to change over time and creating complex textures beyond static tones.
