Elektron Synthesis

 The synthesizer. An instrument that uses audible waveform synthesis to create musical sounds. The modern synthesizer comes in various shapes, sizes, and prices. Synthesis has also changed ridiculous amounts in the past 100+ years. Starting from electronics engineers creating little buzzers that produced nothing more than buzzing noises into our digitally controlled machines that can imitate every instrument ever created; Synthesizers have now become their own instruments rocketing the musician into ethereal realms that were once unreachable. I've had a background in computers and electronic gadgetry for as long as I can remember, so naturally, I just want to share my newest obsession with
Elektron's machines. These synthesizers look like some sort of spaceship console, definitely not the average platform typically associated with music creation. But, these machines are actually very musical in nature. Their interface is and parameter controls are all digital, meaning, software programming is written to house the ways to change or create sounds. Although, the controls themselves are digital, the sounds are all generated the classic way, analog synthesis. You have all sorts of mathematical electronic connections being made inside the unit as opposed to using samples of audio.
Because of the analog synthesis Elektron machines have a very classic sound. Thick lush and expansive sound that can be manipulated very easily with the provided digital controls. What used to take substantial amounts of time things such as: recording manipulations when turning knobs, now takes seconds and is all programmed into the sequencer where it can be looped and further
manipulated/perfected ad-infinite.
