A synthesizer ("synth") is a hardware or software musical instrument that outputs synthesized audio signals. The method of synthesis depends on the type of synthesizer (e.g. Additive, Subtractive, FM, Wavetable or Granular). If your question refers to a specific type, please also add that tag, e.g. "additive-synthesis".
