Synthesizers

Shop Synthesizers Online at MUSIC STORE professional USA

Electronic sound has fascinated musicians and audiences for decades. What began in the early 20th century with laboratory devices took a major leap in the 1960s when synthesizer pioneers Robert Moog and Don Buchla introduced their groundbreaking modular systems and early analog synthesizers. Their innovations laid the foundation for the modern synthesizer. The legendary Moog Minimoog, with its oscillators, mixer, filter, VCA, envelopes, controllers and integrated keyboard, became the template for generations of portable synths.

Today there is gear for every budget, style and skill level. Alongside industry icons like Korg, Moog, Roland and Yamaha, we also offer many boutique manufacturers with innovative designs. The line between fully digital and fully analog synthesizers is no longer strict. Modern hybrid synthesizers combine digital sound engines with analog components such as mixers, filters and VCAs. In the modular world, many modules now use advanced DSP technology instead of purely analog circuits.

Oldschool vs. Newschool

Recreations of iconic analog classics remain extremely popular: Black Corporation Deckard’s Dream (Yamaha CS-80 clone), ARP Odyssey, Korg MS-20 mini, Roland TB-03 (TB-303 clone), TR-808, Behringer MS-1, Behringer DeepMind and the Behringer Model D. Yamaha’s iconic FM synthesis from the DX-7 lives on in modern instruments like the Reface DX, Yamaha MODX and Korg Volca FM.

Which gear suits which type of musician?

Whether beginner, hobbyist or professional — there is a perfect synthesizer for everyone. With or without keyboard, as a MIDI controller, step sequencer, rack module or desktop unit; analog, digital, hybrid, versatile or a one-trick specialist — the options are nearly endless. Experimental musicians can control modular rigs, DAWs or grooveboxes using tactile sensors. Noise artists benefit from the booming modular scene. For playful and portable creativity, devices like Teenage Engineering’s Pocket Operator series offer surprising depth in a compact format.

Endless sound possibilities

Synthesizers are among the most versatile electronic instruments ever. Designing sounds is inspiring and offers unlimited creative expression. From early analog classics of the 1960s to modern digital powerhouses, synthesizer technology has evolved dramatically. Besides subtractive, FM and wavetable synthesis, methods such as physical modeling, East Coast, particle and resonator synthesis are widely used today. For classic basses and leads, an analog synth is perfect, while digital synths excel at completely different sonic landscapes.

In Bits & Bytes

Software-based instruments like VST synthesizers appeared in their modern form after the Commodore Amiga era. Today, powerful synthesizers are available for both Android and iOS. Companies like Ableton, Arturia, Toontrack, Steinberg, u-he, Native Instruments and others develop software instruments that easily compete with hardware synths. From authentic vintage emulations to advanced synthesis engines — there is an immense variety to explore.

To make software instruments more hands-on, there is a huge range of DAW controllers available. Keyboards of all sizes and control surfaces with knobs, faders and pads allow intuitive control for composition, production and live performance.
