Based on filtering harmonically rich waveforms
Subtractive Synthesis
1 of 5
Builds sounds by adding together waveforms. Examples: Teleharmonium and Hammond organ
Additive synthesizer
2 of 5
A process that usually involves the use of at least two signal generators (sine-wave oscillators) to create and modify a voice.
FM synthesis
3 of 5
The synthesis of sound by using a set of equations and algorithms to simulate a real instrument, or some other physical source of sound
Physical modelling synthesis
4 of 5
One of the easiest synthesis systems is to record a real instrument as a digitized waveform, and then play back its recordings at different speeds to produce different tones.
