Synths are hmmm

HEY GOOGLE, MY BEST FRIEND. WHAT DOES SYNTH MEAN.

short for synthesizer.


Thanks a lot Google, you have now to waste 5 more precious seconds of my life clicking on synthesizer.


an electronic musical instrument, typically operated by a keyboard, producing a wide variety of sounds by generating and combining signals of different frequencies.


Yeah, that.

Basically it's a keyboard, with cool sounds!


THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF SYNTHS:

1. analog synths
2. Digital synth
3. synth pad
4. synth lead
5. bass
6. THE OTHER TYPE OF SYNTH THAT I DON'T KNOW IT'S NAME

UGH

Lemme see if examples from songs can get you going

Digital synths

Disconnected – Pegboard Nerds

The main melody of this song is a digital synth.(more specifically a synchronyce(my favorite synth))

If you're a wiki fan, then go ahead and check https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_synthesizer out

My definition is a choppy, electric type synth. It's supre hard to explain.

Analog synths

I love analog synths. A smooth feeling.

Return – Axel Wernberg, Linne, Ennex

Basically the main synths used in this song is an analog synth.

Fun fact: Mr. O'dea taught me what an analog synth was.

It's a smooth, basic synth.

Synth pad

Synth pads are normally not used for the main melody. It's often used as a single note in the background.

This is a synth pad. Tbh this doesn't deserve to have it's own category, but I LIKE THE SOUND IT MAKES AND I THINK IT'S UNIQUE STOP JUDGING.

Over Again – Culture Code

There's also an analog synth in there. Try to find it. :)

Synth voices

Voices range from low to high. It sounds like a voice...but it doesn.t

Wicked – John Kenza

just listen to the beginning of this song. IMO these are the easiest to recognize.

Some synth voices can even sing an entire song with lyrics and all that.

Over Again – Retrovision, Micah Martin


Honestly, synth voices are very common in NCS.

Synth Lead

Since I'm defining these synths, they're definitely not accurate. 

Synth leads are always high-pitched, IMO

They can't be choppy, they have to definitely be clear and smooth.

go to the end. You'll definitely know when the synth lead comes.
