What is a modular synthesizer?

Modular synthesizers are synthesizers assembled from a number of smaller, separate modules to suit the musicians' needs. A single module can provide a sound generator, sequencer, filter or just about any imaginable sound synthesis function. Short detachable cables called patchcords are used to direct signals from circuit to circuit (be it in the same or another module), and finally to an amplifier to be made sound. They are capable of a vastly wider range of sounds than any single-piece synthesizer, limited by little more than the musician's ingeniosity, but are also challenging to work with, and commonly cumbersome. They tend to also lack presets, so that any sounds must be generated from scratch or from modification of sounds from other sources. Any finished sound ("patch") must be then sampled or saved in some other fashion, if one wants to make use of it later.Modulars were most popular in the late 60s to the 70s, probably the most famous brand being the Moog Modular. They initially replaced huge monolithic synthesizers where only a specific synthesizer sound was needed, but their full potential was soon realized. This was the time when electronic music went on to quickly evolve from simple bleeps and tinkles and drones to contain dizzyingly complex sounds, in the hands groups such as Tangerine Dream and Kraftwerk. In the 80s modulars fell out of popularity, replaced by 1) relatively versatile and easy-to-use single-piece synthesizers such as the MiniMoog and the TB303, and 2) the MIDI (Music Instrument Digital Interface) standard, which allowed using synthesizers of different make, and many other electric instruments, in a "modular" fashion (with some limitations). Several old and new brands, including computer software renditions ("virtual" modulars), are still being produced for synthesizer enthusiants.


On synthesizers what does 'detune' do and how does it work?

On a synthesizer, in theory, all of the notes can be played perfectly in tune. However, this could sound a bit sterile and unnatural. There are 100 cents in a semi-tone (or half step). When "detuning" is used, one or more of the notes in a chord or unison are played just slightly out of tune...maybe by 2 or 3 cents. This makes the chord sound more natural to our ears. Mike R.


What are safety devices?

Safety devices are devices that work to help secure the safety of anyone who is using them. There are different safety devices that can be found in the market today. Some of these are geared for children, women, and elderly. Some examples for these devices are corner edge protectors for children, stun guns for women, and cell phones with emergency response system for elderly.


How many devices can work?

All devices can work, if they are designed properly and are well-maintained.


How are keyboard different than piano?

A keyboard could be a synthesizer, but most likely a keyboard is something called a sampler. Synthesizers create sounds from scratch using mathematical formulas whereas samplers utilize pre-recorded sounds. Also (expanded) - a keyboard usually relies on preset sounds whether be it stand alone or as midi which is connected to another or a computer (pc/mac), whereas a synthesizer can create sounds (from scratch) using mathematical formulas, which are then passed to digital chips on the motherboard for current synths, or analogue power oscillators on older synths. The better (usually more expensive) a synth - the more ways of sound creation is available. A synthesizer also gives you more flexibility with sound creation, whereas an average keyboard usually relies on preset pcm samples, that are when mixed together - give you "preset" sounds.

How is the synthesizer made?

Simply put, a synthesizer is a computer which calculates mathematical functions and plays the result of those functions on an amplifier. It does not use pre-recorded samples, but creates sounds literally from nothing but electricity.
