Digital & Modelling

Digital synthesizers use digital signal processing (DSP) to generate and manipulate sound, often featuring a wide range of presets and sound-shaping capabilities. Modelling synthesizers, on the other hand, use advanced algorithms to emulate the behaviour of analog circuits and vintage synths, replicating the sound and characteristics of classic instruments. While digital synths offer versatility and a broad palette of sounds, modeling synths are prized for their ability to recreate the authentic sound and feel of analog equipment. 

Yes, both digital and modeling synthesizers are well-suited for live performances. They often include features such as real-time controls, robust build quality, and extensive connectivity options. Many models also come with performance-friendly features like arpeggiators, sequencers, and easy access to presets. Brands like Roland, Yamaha, and Korg offer models specifically designed for stage use, providing reliable performance and expressive capabilities. 

Integrating digital and modelling synthesizers into a music production setup is straightforward thanks to their versatile connectivity options. Most synthesizers come with MIDI and USB ports, allowing for seamless integration with DAWs, computers, and other MIDI-compatible devices. Additionally, many synthesizers feature audio outputs that can be connected to audio interfaces, mixers, and monitors. Software integration is also supported by many brands, offering plugins and editors that enhance control and sound design within your DAW.
