The creation of the musical synthesizer transformed the sound enjoyment all around the world. An entertainer who wished to reproduce a certain type of sound before a live audience had to depend on conventional recordings. Nowadays, that can be done and produced live giving the performer a choice of thousands of sounds, notes and frequencies at his fingertips.
A synthesizer is an electronic device that can simulate various sounds by creating and mixing a combination of different frequencies. By this method, it can create thousands of unique mixes of sounds.
Entertainers who wish to insert the noise of a car horn in their act dont have to use a recording of a car horn. In its place, the noise can be made by merely turning on a switch. The synthesizer even makes several sounds at the same time, such as, for instance, a honking horn or a bird calling.
The first synthesizers ever made were the analog synthesizers, breaking ground as early as 1876 by telephone prototype inventor Elisha Gray. Gray invented the first controllable single note oscillator when he discovered by mishap a self-vibrating electromagnetic circuit during his telephone experiments. Though the invention never broke into mainstream popularity, his "musical telegraph" could transport sounds via steel reeds through a telephone line, and set a milestone for others to follow.
Robert Moog, a brilliant scientist with a doctorate in engineering physics, greatly improved upon the synthesizer in the mid 1900s. He spent his entire career developing electronic music devices and, for that, he is widely known today as the father of the modern synthesizer.
Earlier versions of the synthesizers used buttons, dials, and levers, but Moog's invention was the first to be controlled with a piano keyboard. This technology would be developed further to create not only the electric pianos and keyboards found in stores today, but also guitar synthesizers.
Early synthesizers were also quite bulky and difficult to transport. Moog's synthesizer, however, was more compact and easier to travel with. This allowed many more musicians to use them in live performances. Through the years, synthesizers have continued to be grow more smaller and more sophisticated. Today, most synthesizers have utilized computer technologies and contain motherboards and computer chips.
Stage performers who need a synthesizer on a regular basis still like those of the keyboard design. The musicians nowadays may also use software, sometimes called softsynth. This kind employs computer programs to produce audio through digital means. Softsynth is sometimes used to make a recording in a studio stetting. One more type used somewhat less often is a saxophone-style synthesizer.
