Synthesizers have transformed contemporary music and been a huge part of electronic music production’s evolution in countless ways.<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Synthesis has evolved dramatically since the first subtractive synthesizers like Moog’s Minimoog<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, Sequential Circuits’s Prophet 5, and Roland’s Juno 60 hit the market. Today, music producers are using numerous forms of synthesis and sampling to create unique, interesting sounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A number of synthesis techniques now dominate the music production scene, and we’re going to talk about subtractive & additive synthesis and what sets them apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
