What is synth?

Synth is like a keyboard that makes up its own music instead of just playing what's already written.

Imagine you have a toy piano, and every time you press a key, it plays a note, but with a synth, it’s more like having a magic keyboard that can turn your taps into sounds you’ve never heard before. It doesn’t just play notes; it creates them, sometimes making them sound like a drum, or a bell, or even a robot.

A synth has something called an oscillator, which is like the heart of the synth, it makes the basic sounds. You can change how fast it beats to make different tones. Then there are filters, which are like the ears of the synth, they help shape the sound, making it brighter or softer.

You can also add effects, think of them as little helpers that change how the sound travels, like adding echoes or reverb, so it feels more alive and full.

Synth is used in lots of music today, you might have heard it in songs on the radio, or even in your favorite video game! It's a fun way to make new sounds and express yourself.
